Hey everybody!! :os
Me and a friend are going to do an interrail trip in September for 22 days.
Our rough plan is to travel:
Prague - Vienna - Budapest oder Zagreb - Sarajevo, Split, Venezia, Roma, Nice - Paris
Our problem is that we dont only want to see big cities but also nice and [b]really worth seeing, special landscape.[/b]
So my question is now, does anybody has ideas which nice places or maybe railway lines there are along this rough route (we are open to change it if there are nice places elsewhere)
What I found was Lake Bled in Slovenia and the cascade of Kravica in Bosnia and Herzegowina.
Has anybody been there and can tell us if its worth going there?
And above all (once again) does anybody have [b]other suggestions?[/b]
Thanks a lot :)
Tina

Hej Tina!
Railway lines:
- If you are travelling by train to Praha from Germany via Dresden, the part from Dresden to Decin is very nice, running through the Elbe valley. Try to get a seat on the left side from Dresden. ;)
- Now I'd already change your schedule a little bit... ;)
- Wien - Zagreb via the famous, 150+ years old Semmering line which is one of only three railway lines worldwide classified as UNESCO World Heritage.
- Zagreb - Split is very scenic too as soon as you reach the coastal ranges down to Split.
- Split - Sarajevo has to be done partly by bus; the bus runs along the coast to Ploce, from there you have two daily trains :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/ploce-to-sarajevo[/u]
- Sarajevo - Budapest and then with night train Budapest - Ljubljana
- Roma - Nice is best done along the Mediterranean coast :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/rome-to-nice[/u] and includes many nice views along the way. Again, try to sit on the left side (depends a bit on your luck of course since some trains require a reservation).
- Nice - Paris is very nice along the coast for the first hour or so. If you are taking a direct TGV train, try to get your reservation in the upper deck.
In general, your schedule is quite packed already so there would not be much time to include extra trips to some scenic places. Highlights would certainly be the Semmering route, the trip down to Split and back from Ploce towards Sarajveo as well as the trips along the Mediterranean coast.
Lake Bled is also quite nice, and easily reachable either from Wien on your way to Zagreb, or if you are following your original route do it before you go to Venezia.
