I'm trying to figure out train connections from Dusseldorf to Munster. There are a number of different options for Munster. When I try them it seems that the train is 5 to 7 hours. Can this be right when Munster is only supposed to be about an hour north of the Ruhrbegeit area? What am i doing wrong?

The Muenster that you are looking for has an umlaut over the u. Enter Muenster and you should find what you are looking for.

Try Munster (Westf) Hbf and you will find it; the train takes one hour 20 minutes.

Common mistake here, Actually twice. "Dusseldorf" is taken for the airport station of Düsseldorf (Duesseldorf for those with English keyboard). And Munster is a small town near Bremen. You want however to Münster, or Muenster.

Thanks much!! I knew I had to be screwing up somehow.
