On the latest timetable, these trains from Munich to Zurich have all been re-routed and now make a slightly longer journey via Kempten.

A plus of this schedule change is that the route via Kempten is much more scenic - though it can only be appreciated if you set off from Munich, on the trains which are usually scheduled to depart at 07:14 and 12:14.

The highlight of the journey comes after departure from Immendstadt when the train travels along the shore of the GroBer Alpsee - the views of the lake are on the left hand side.

The train will then travel through the foothills of The Bavarian Alps, as it makes its way to Lindau.

As it arrives in Lindau, it will travel across a short causeway, across the Bodensee, the best of the views here are on the right.

The train will reverse direction in Lindau and then head towards Bregenz in Austria, travelling by the Bodensee - and on this part of the journey, the views over the lake are on the right

Due to the reversal in Lindau, if you want a good view of the scenery, sit on the left when boarding the train in Munich.
