Actually, for a route terminating in Hamburg, the relevant question would be
"does the route intersect one of your own tokens elsewhere?"  If yes, you
can terminate in any Hamburg city circle.  If the only owner station token
on the route is in Hamburg, then it would matter which side of the river it
was on and which path was taken to reach it.
