Hi,
my residence country is Germany, and I have a global pass. I want to avoid the high paymant for travels in Germany. Can I travel from Amsterdam via Germany to Basel with the CNL and pay only the IR supplements? Or Is it necessary to pay the full price for the german part of the travel?
thanks, Henning
EDIT: Problem has bin solved by another post.

Hi Henning.
Even your problem is solved by an other post, just a short information about it:
you will have to pay the full price for the border station Netherlands-Germany to the border station Germany-Switzerland.
You won't get the 25% discount for your country of residence, as it is transit.
You only get it for leaving your country of residence or for turning back home.
You have the following options:
1) Try to get a special price ticket - starting from 29 EUR via Deutsche Bahn
2) By IC train (free of supplements) Amsterdam-Brussels: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-brussels-train-thalys/f3991[/u]
Then the direct train to Switzerland, NOT touching Germany - this train is also free of supplements: [u]https://rail.cc/en/brussels-luxembourg-strasbourg-basel-zurich-train/f2915[/u]
