How much transfer time do I need between ferry and train in Travemünde?

score:3

Accepted answer

Finnlines has instructions for foot passengers on its website:

https://www.finnlines.com/ferry-trips/contact/harbours-and-driving-instructions/travemunde

It contains the following mention:

Please be aware that there is no walkway from the Lübeck-Travemünde Skandinavienkai train station to the Skandinavienkai Terminal.

As a foot passenger you will be taken off the ferry in a mini bus and driven to the terminal building. From there regular busses run to Lübeck and Travemünde.

So you can go to www.bahn.de and plan a trip...

From: "Skandinavienkai Terminal, Lübeck""

To: Pretty much anywhere in Europe....

So there is no need to get to the train Skandinavienkai train station.

Note that for regional travel there is no need to buy tickets in advance, and since (as is common in Germany) the tariff system is mode-neutral you cannot even buy a ticket for the 7:39 train, even if you wanted to...

Just from looking at a map of the area, my instinct is that this would be very tight. Probably doable with a taxi but not likely on foot is my rough assessment of the matter.

However, a more important question is, does it matter? What sort of train journey are you making? If it is a relatively local one (within Schleswig-Holstein, or to Hamburg) it is quite likely that the ticket you are looking at is a low, local fare which does not tie you to any particular train, and so it would not matter from a ticket booking perspective if you missed the train you were aiming for. On the other hand if you're making a longer-distance journey this probably would matter.
