So me and some friends are currently planning a trip through Europe. Nothing is really set in stone yet, our first question is if we want to do a roadtrip with a camper-van or an Interrail trip.

I guess the advantage of a train would be, that it would be a lot more enjoyable to cover larger distances than with a camper. I thought, maybe it would be really cool, if we did like a larger tour through Europe, so I researched a bit and planned a hypothetical trip through Germany (where we live) to Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and back to Germany.

That sounds like a lot, but with the train routes, I looked up it would be doable with only 9 travel days, 4 of which would take the whole day (10-12 hours) and 5 of which would only take half a day (4-6 hours). I thought, that could be quite reasonable and it would be a great adventure type trip.

Do you think that could be cool, or would it get exhausting to quick?

    I would look in to night trains that you can get with interrail. Just because you can have more time on the location and don’t have to spend money on accomodation.

    Otherwise it can be quite nice trip my friends did 14 days last year through Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, and were quite satisfied with the decision.
