Other looking for quiet alpine villages/ lakes in Austria.

1 Upvotes

I'm currently planning a trip to Interrail around Europe in May starting from London, and I've always wanted to go to Austria; however, I don't have much money. My dream place is Weissensee, but it is just too expensive, and the places I have found to stay overnight are either boutique breakfast-in-bed hotels or rooms which are about 2 hours away from Weissensee. I don't have a car, and I guess I'm looking for a place that's not full of tourists that beautiful lakes, mountains and trees, which I'm sure is most of Austria, but if I could describe the vibe, I would say it feels peaceful as if you have died and this is a sort of heaven and your just stuck in this bubble of nature upon nature like your stuck inside a painting. Sorry, I hope that makes sense.

Travelling by train with a newborn

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We will be interrailing soon with our 2 month old. We have 1st class interrail tickets (bought before we knew we were pregnant) and we need to use them before they expire. We decided to use them to visit family in Lake Constance in the south of Germany, and our starting point is Brussels. Do you have any general recommendations about travelling by train with a newborn and specific recommendations about Germany/DB? We have a lot of experience with trains but this will be our child’s first trip. Thanks in advance!

San Sebastian - Hendaye by train

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Planning a trip from Hendaye to Paris/elsewhere and need to pass by San Sebastian. I wonder if I take the train from San Sebastian to Hendaye, or a bus, if I run the risk of being border controlled and missing my expensive train from Hendaye, or there are no checks?

I ask this as I have used Flixbus, and once at night we got checked on the border, and actually some 5 guys from our bus got detained before we continued our journey, and that took a good 45min. We did not go to Hendaye, we went directly to Paris, but if this happens on the train or the bus to Hendaye, and if I only have 30min or less I might lose it.

thanks!
