Photo does not show a train littered by “9-Euro Sylt holidaymakers”.

At the beginning of May, a certain newspaper with oversized headlines and lots of pictures laid the foundation for a viral event: In an article they wrote that “ Sylt is in fear of the 9-euro vacationers ,” since everyone can now get to the “island of the island” cheaply “The rich and famous” could drive.
Nobody really intended that, but the headline created a viral trend to go to Sylt even more, including “ chaos days ” from June to August.
Of course, alleged evidence pictures should not be missing, which are intended to show how anti-social these evil Sylt vacationers are, and in this regard the photo of a littered train is shared - which, however, is already seven years old!

So no rowdy 9 euro ticket holidaymakers in 2022, but football fans in 2015.
