The Schleswig-Holstein-Tarif
The Schleswig-Holstein-Tarif (SH-Tarif) applies to journeys with local public transport in Schleswig-Holstein and as far as Hamburg (Tariff Area). No matter whether you travel with the local railways (RE, RB, NBE, AKN, erixx, neg, Arriva), regional or city buses, you only need one ticket to reach your destination, even if you have to change trains or buses. There is one standard range of tickets and tariff regulations throughout the entire tariff area.
SH-Tarif tickets are valid on the route chosen by you, from point of departure to destination, in buses and trains. So when you purchase your ticket, all you have to do is enter the destination and, if needed, your zone of departure. In the departure and destination zones, you can travel with local city transport, of course without paying extra. If you have a ticket for the destination Hamburg, for example, this is also valid for all local transport of the Hamburg Transport Association (hvv) in the Hamburg AB (Rings A and B) tariff zone: Underground, urban railway, regionals and A-trains (U-, S-, A- and R-Bahn), buses and harbour ferries.
The price of your ticket will depend on the traveling route covered. Our Price Tool (tariff request) makes it easy to find the correct ticket price for your journey.
Please remember to always buy your ticket before starting your journey and, when purchasing, state your destination and the type of ticket you want. You can purchase tickets in buses, at ticket machines and ticket offices (Map). SIngle tickets, day tickets and small-group tickets are also available as printticket in the webshop or on your smartphone with the NAH.SH-App.
