A day by the sea: the Belgian railway makes it possible!

In an eventful year, which reminds of a endless loop of disasters, the Belgian State Railway SNCB attracts attention with its innovative multi-train ticket. This ticket allows passengers to enjoy ten free rides through the picturesque Belgium for still an impressive 100 euros. If you sit on a train at Welkenraedt at the train station, you can drive to the coastal city of east ends, for example, and spend a day by the sea there. The beauty of the Ardennes and the flat Flanders invite you to forget the worries of everyday life for a moment, such as the Aachener Zeitung reported.

The first impressions when leaving the train station in East end are clear: the old Fischtrawler Amandine, which serves as a museum ship, and right near the beach that invites you to linger. Despite the criticism that the surrounding hotel architecture is not very handsome, the report describes the relaxing atmosphere of the sea and the beach. Visitors can refresh seagulls, wind and waves with a welcome breeze that makes everyday life forget. Travelers can experience the magic of the Belgian coast for only around 20 euros.

This simple access to a day by the sea could be a welcome change for many. In the midst of challenges such as the Coronavirus, the war in Ukraine and the ongoing economic crisis, the ticket conveys a feeling of hope and renewal. While the year 2020 feels like an endless cycle, SNCB offers a way to escape everyday life and to free itself from the "gray bleed" of recent years, which is impressively emphasized in the current reports.
