ICE Train

I want to know the routes of Intercity-Express ICE Train so will you please tell me?

The Intercity-Express ICE is a system of high-speed trains predominantly running in Germany and its surrounding countries.

It is the highest service category offered by DB Fernverkehr and is the flagship of Deutsche Bahn.

It is the fastest and most comfortable way to travel on the Deutsche Bahn network, reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h, and new standards of excellence.

ICE trains are fully air-conditioned and have a low noise level.

Each operates between several major cities including international destinations in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland
