Hello,

is the scenery worth on the route from Lübeck to Copenhagen through the ferry Puttgarden - Rødby ? Do you have any suggestion for a nice overnight stop accessible by train in southern Zealand ?

I could only find a nearly two hours long bus ride from Lübeck to Puttgarden (no train even for part of the journey). And another bus after the ferry to reach Maribo. Furthermore, I read about the Sydbanen rail works. So I do hesitate to take this route this summer.

Thanks for any advice.

No train is running on this line until 2033… or later. You have a few spectacular bridges and the ferry could be interesting if you like boats. With the new line you will be in tunnels.

Thank you.

Just wondering why the bus from Rødby to Maribo Station appears “hors réseau pass” in the Rail Planner app, though it can be bought like any route via DSB ?

And trains won’t run between Ringsted and Fredericia the week I’ll travel (July 12-19)

Do you have experience with replacement buses on such a busy route ?

Thanks again.

I don’t know the ticketing system of DSB, but in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, you can buy tickets for almost all public transportation (e.g. buses, trams, metros) from the state owned operators, although passes are not valid. 

The validity of the passes depends solely on the contracts that the operators have with Eurail/Interrail.
