The ICE trains go 250-300/km per hour over the fast track lines. I'm not sure if any of this trip is on a fast track.

I'd be very afraid about this itinerary, though, based on an experience I had in 2008 going from Munich to Salzburg. Someone decided to commit suicide by placing himself in front of the train. We were delayed for a very long time - 4 hours, I think. There was absolutely nothing we could do about it.
