Travel days

I tried to plan my trip on the trip planner and got suggested that I should buy the 7 day within 1 month pass. When I count the travel days I get to 8, the website gets to only 6. The itinerary would be Stuttgart - Salzburg, Salzburg - Ljubljana, Ljubljana-Venice, Venice-Pisa, Pisa-Genoa, Genoa-Lyon, Lyon-Paris, Paris-Stuttgart in case that matters. Am I wrong or is the website wrong? 

Second part of my question would be about the own country days. This is what I found on the website:  ‘’Outbound and inbound journeys are not extra travel days.’’. Does that mean I will have 7 days + the travel out and to my country of residence? In that case it would make sense since I am German. However I am also travelling with two of my friends who aren’t German.

Sounds like you need 8 travel days if each of the journeys is on a different day. (You could get a 7 days in 1 month pass and just get a normal tickets for your cheapest day. Maybe you did not enter an overnight stay in some of the locations. As on a travel day you can get on as many trains as you like. (for overnight trains only the day you get on matters)

Second part of my question would be about the own country days. This is what I found on the website:  ‘’Outbound and inbound journeys are not extra travel days.’’. Does that mean

This basicly means that on 2 of your for example 7 travel days you can use you Interrail pass also in your homecountry.

’’. Does that mean I will have 7 days + the travel out and to my country of residence? In that case it would make sense since I am German. However I am also travelling with two of my friends who aren’t German. 

→ No you only have 7 travel days total. (inbound/outbound does not givve you extra travel days.
