Hi everyone!
I want to Interrail around Eastern Europe this summer, and I've been trying to work out a route, this is the best I have come up with so far...

Warsaw - Krakow (& Auschwitz), Bratislava, Budapest, Lake Balaton, Brasov, Bucharest, Varna, Sofia, Skopje, Lake Ohrid, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zagreb, Pula, Ljubljana.

(I am intending to fly London to Warsaw and Ljubljana to London).

Does anyone have any experience of a similar route? Does anyone know of any problems there may be with this route? Should I maybe start/finish somewhere else so I could get cheaper flights (going to be around £180-£200 for those flights).

Any input would be great!

Thanks

in the last part-trains are rare or so roundabout, bus or boat is better choice. Plus that single tickets bought there seem cheapaschips.
also look-check ryan, for other dep.tr ports back home-Ljub has very few flites (also check WIZZair-the ryan of the east). START with looking where they fly TO from your best airport.
As from SOfia bus is better-several to Skopje-(and in summer a few on to Ohrid-which has not train at all), and in Serbije/old Yugosl trains are so decrepit and slow-delayed, that you regret using expensive passes on them.
If you intend NS for that festival-expect giant crowds and all things booked solid. You'll be glad to be able to slip into a filthy WC in a train t get there with such crowds.
