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?
Yeah I agree. I also decided some time ago that I’d rather only see some small parts of a country instead of moving every two days during a holiday.
With a itinerary like OP I’d choose one thing to do per country (and not just visit the capital in each and then continue). Maybe choose one museum in Denmark, then a 2 day hike in Sweden, then a sauna by the lake in Finland, then maybe actually visit a city like Riga of Tallinn, then go horse riding in poland.
