OeBB, the Austrian state railways, today announced some super-cheap overnight train deals, good through March 30.

OeBB’s “Stand-pending availability, of course. The routes are Vienna-Berlin, Vienna-Hamburg, and Vienna-Dortmund.

These routes include stops at several other German cities along the way, including Leipzig (en route to Berlin); Nürnberg, Göttingen, and Hannover (along the way to Hamburg); and Mannheim, Koblenz, Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Duisberg, Essen, and Bochum (en route to Dortmund).

For those elsewhere in Austria, the three routes also stop in St. Pölten and Linz. Additionally, the Hamburg train stops in Wels and the Dortmund train stops in Salzburg.

€29 will get you a seat, €39 a couchette in a six-berth compartment, and €49 a bed in a six-berth compartment on the swanker CityNightLine train.

We don’t know about you, but we feel like breaking open the Almdudler.
