[TRIP REPORT] Croatian EuroNight Lisinski From Munich To Zagreb By HZ In Single Sleeper Cabin

EuroNight 50463 brings you from Munich to Zagreb. The capital of Croatia is served by two sleeper trains on a regular base. One is bound for Zürich in Switzerland and the other one for München in Germany. Both are operated by Croation Railways with their own fleet of overnight train coaches. You can find comfortable sleeper cars, economical couchette cars and regular seating cars as well.
In this trip report the route from Munich to Zagreb will be covered. It is less popular than the one from Switzerland, because it covers a shorter distance meaning a relatively short night's rest. What also doesn't help is that the arrival and departure time in Ljubljana is in the early morning or late at night. Nevertheless this train journey is a wonderful one to do!
The former border procedure at the Dobova checkpoint will also be featured in this video. Up untill 2022 there was a physical border between Slovenia and Croatia, but since 2023 Croatia joined the Schengen Zone. Therefore the border checkpoint at Dobova got abolished and people can now travel freely within the newly extended Schengen Zone. Only random checks may still occur.

nice video. did you ever used the other sleeping option? i believe it is 6 persons in a wagon or something like that ? and did i understand it correctly that there are no more border checkpoints as of 2023? thanks in advance.

I'm not the video creator, but I slept multiple times in the 6-person couchette wagon. It's a decent option if you can't get the full sleeper wagon from the video. It's a bit cramped for space if all 6 beds are occupied, since most people will be bringing a suitcase. If you're alone in it or with 2-3 people, it's pretty good. You get a shared bathroom for the whole wagon, a pillow and a blanket, a bottle of water and a croissant. The "beds" are decent, but not great. Regarding the border checkpoints, there are no checkpoints between Germany and Croatia anymore since Croatia joined the Schengen area in 2023.

Thank you! I've actually used the couchette with 6 berth in 2011 from Munich to Zagreb. Back then the cars were relatively new and a welcome change to other night trains which were solely using old cars. I've had good memories of them and will still recommend it if you can't afford a sleeper car ticket or if the sleeper car is sold out. Border checkpoints have disappeared from the Slovenian and Croatian border since 2023, because Croatia joined Schengen.

Thank you for commenting, I'll add my answer as well. I enjoyed the couchette cars of the HZPP back in 2011, but I'm not sure if I would have the same opinion in 2023 haha! Still, a couchette will be better than surviving the night on a seat. Couchette berths are usually very hard, that's something you should keep in mind when considering booking the couchette options. Most trains will let ou choose between 6 berth couchette or 4 berth couchette. Definitely go for the 4 berth as every one would have more space for themselves!

Hi my friend Is there passport control by trein between Croatia and Germany? Is it by trein controller or the border buildings? My passport actually is not valid

[@Tjuk02]

There is no passport control between Germany and Croatia anymore since 2023, wish you happy travels!
