Hi, i was on a trip earlier this month and left my country of residence once and reentered. the 22. of january i would spend my last two days of travel, ive read that i cant exit and reenter my country with my interrail pass again. I was looking at a ticket where i would pay for a ticket to padborg and continue on the train with my interrail pass. Would a ticket to padborg suffice and i would leave the country on the interrail pass? i would buy a ticket to a stop thats right over the border, but the train im looking at only stops there between copenhagen and hamburg. (Padborg is bordering the danish german border but is technically within denmark)

Exiting country of residence for the second time.
A ticket to Padborg is not enough. You need a ticket to at least the border tariff point, which is called "Flensburg(Gr)” in this case. However, tickets to the border tariff point are not always easy to buy and special saver fares are often not available to it. So it may be cheaper to buy a saver ticket to the first stop of your train after the border.
DB offer full fare tickets to the border here:

There you can select "Passzuschlag German Rail Pass”. This will result in a ticket for the "Pass 2” fare for only the route outside Germany. You can probably also buy something like this in Denmark, either at a ticket office or by phone. Compare price with a regular ticket (e.g. Sparpreis) to the first station of your train in Germany.
