There's no restriction on how many times you travel where, except for the max. 2 travel days in your country of residence. You'll indeed need to buy extra tickets to/from the Austrian border for any extra journeys in Austria.

Or get that brand new Klimaticket-this will cover any trip for the whole yr till Grenze. Selber mal nachrechnen was am besten auskommt.

In that case you could also check if the 1-country IT would work out cheaper.

Ok thank you for the replies I appreciate it :)

Hey, so my girlfriend actually just tried to travel the same way back that she came from (Hamburg - Lühneburg / Lühneburg - Hamburg) and it said invalid ticket. That was basically my question, if I’ll be able to travel the same way back that I came from. Do you guys have any experience with that?

Never had this issue but some ticketinspectors of German rail have problems to read the QR Code with their devices. Then they should do it the old style with reading it with their eyes.
Another issue that happen yet few times that Eurail travleler logged the wrong train for example they logged ICE 548 and in reallity they travel on ICE 558.


You can use the Railpass on which direction you want on a travelday :)
I did several times like that to cut down the waiting times on stations :)
Like Roma Termini -  Rome Airport - Roma Termini or Wien Hbf - Vienna Airport - Wien Hbf

Amazing, thank‘s guys :)

I've seen more reports from Germany that the staff's devices sometimes say "invalid”. However this does not necessarily mean that is really invalid and @seewulf said, staff must first read the information below the barcode to verify. All information they need it there in readable format.
