Unlimited use of local public transport in Germany
Unlimited travel by bus and train throughout Germany - as a PFH campus student, you can do this with the digital Germany semester ticket. And that's not all: you can also travel to some cities in neighboring countries by train. The ticket is a great way to explore Germany. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that (with a few exceptions) you can only use local public transport.
