Is this really as complicated as it seems? I want to go Barcelona-Venice-Budapest-Vienna-Prague-somewhere in Germany-Amsterdam-Paris
I thought I had made a good route with the timetables and now I've been reading about reservations and supplements and I am so confused. How do I reserve trains? and what are supplements? and how do you avoid paying for them? And how likely is it I will have to pay more to reserve trains, because the money keeps going up. If anyone can help that would be great...

no panic...
it is easy... :)
search your train schedules: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
play a bit with the options of this tool ... you can find regional trains which are always free to use. but in countries like Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Rep. and so on you can also use the high-speed-trains for free. only in France (small extra fees) and Italy+Spain you have to pay on most high-speed trains.
but like I said, there is always a route with no need of reservation and to pay supplements !! :)
for the supplements (if you need one, it is listed here - otherwise the trains are free): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
how to buy supplements: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
for night trains you also have to pay for your bed or seat, like in a hostel. all night trains are listed here at the forum - just visit the country topics.
just relax ... it is really easy, otherwise there wouldn't be so much persons traveling by InterRail every year !! :) after 2 travel-days you will also get the special feeling, which one is the best route !! :)
