Significant snowfall in Bavaria caused Munich to suspend flights and long-distance trains
On its website, Deutsche Bahn said that trains were unable to arrive at Munich's central railway station. According to the statement, there will likely be major delays into Monday and the outage will likely extend the whole day.
As the city faced icy conditions, heavy snowfall in Bavaria led to the cancellation of flights and long-distance trains from Munich throughout the day. Christmas markets were also closed, several ski lifts were not operating, and a football match was called off.
According to a statement on its website, flights were not expected to take off or land at Munich airport until at least 6 a.m. (0500 GMT) on Sunday.
"Everything is shut down. Internet is inoperable. "Well, you just have to have patience... there's nothing you can do," said Magda Shkoša, a traveler who became stuck at Munich airport.
Another traveler, Brigitte Schlossel, said, "The buses weren't running, so we had to use a shovel to dig our way into the parking lot before taking a taxi."

The German meteorological service predicted that between 30 and 40 centimeters of snow would fall by Saturday night. Local media reported many transportation accidents and traffic bottlenecks on snow-covered highways.
The severe snowfall also caused the Bundesliga match between Union Berlin and Bayern Munich to be postponed.
Even yet, as parents dragged their kids on sleds, several Munich residents enjoyed the wintry ambience the snowfall generated.
"It's snowing again at last." It's a tad quieter, which is fantastic in my opinion. Overall, it's a pleasant environment," Frederick Zeller said as he strolled through the streets covered in snow.
