Suggested itinerary · Adapt the order to your dates and confirmed transport.
Corridor
Choose a rail-connected regional corridor and verify the actual stations.
Overnight travel
Allow rest after an overnight journey; a berth does not guarantee a full night’s sleep.
Tickets
Coordinate check-in and luggage with station transfers before paying for the full sequence.
Adapt the itinerary
This is an editorial allocation of time, not a booked tour or operator timetable. Count arrival and departure separately from full sightseeing days. Verify transport connections before paying; respond to warnings and closures by changing the programme rather than bypassing restrictions.
