Historic Molli Steam Train - Day Trip – Bad Doberan

Dear all,
This Saturday I am planning to visit Bad Doberan for the old historic steam train ride called Molli Bahn. I am doing this trip for the first time.
(100 year old steam train - runs in narrow lanes)
The return ticket for the Molli train costs €19 (cash only). Please carry €20–30 cash for your own expenses (self-pay for the old train ride). Since this is a historic train, the Deutschland Ticket does not cover it

Meeting point: GL5-B – 8:00 AM from Hamburg Hbf (Platform 5, below B sign)
Arrival: 11:25 AM at Bad Doberan.
Molli train ride starts at 11:36 AM
(1 hour one way and 1 hour return)
Trains run every 1 hour
we should have 1-2 hours to spare

Return options from Bad Doberan:
- 4:30 PM return → reach Hamburg around 8:00 PM
- 5:30 PM return → reach Hamburg around 9:00 PM

Kindly note this is a long day trip with 8+ hours of travel depending on Deutsche Bahn services, so flexibility and good mood would be appreciated. For queries – message me on Meetup.

Thank you.

* I am doing this trip for 1st time
