good morning, thanks seewulf for your reply! We are taking the ferry from hirtshals to bergen, afaik the cabin wasnt discounted only the normal ticket.
Hi, got a similar question, we booked a ferry with an interrail code, which gave us like 20% off. Do we still need to use one of our travel days? Or is it only if we take the ferry for “free” ?
Thats good to know, thank you!:)
Hi, Thank you Martin! As we are considering Lofoten right now, we wanted to ask for your personal opinion about the bus connection, have you any suggestions? Thanks!Alex
Hi Martin,in the spoiler above you can see the route we found. To be fair we dont plan to stay a lot in finland, its more like a trip through finland because my girlfriend wants to meet her friend there, which is doing her erasmus that time in finland. Well, not that much later, but we start around mid september and come back mid october :)Btw do you have any suggestions regarding carsharing / renting in norway (bergen)? Thank you so much, hope you have a nice day!Alex
Hi Martin, thanks for your feedback!Good to know about the bus and ferrys, we didnt decide 100% that we’ll take the flight or not yet, we might consider going by bus :) Tromso: We wanted to see the northern lights, although we know its not the perfect time to see them, and thought there’s a higher chance the more we go towards the north.. haha. If you’d still recommend us Lofoten islands, we’d consider this the next few days. Also as far as I understood, its only not possible to cross the border between NO-SW and SW-NO, but not from NO - FIN, and from FIN - SW. Our route will only cross sweden border from finnland when we take the ferry from turku. Also asked the Nordjyske Jernbaner operate, no need for reservation for the last 2 trains towards hirtshals. Thanks so far!Alex
Wow everyone is so good informed, thanks for your information!Im sorry for you to cancel your skandinavia trip, maybe you can help us check wheter its possible to go the route as we planned: Hirtshals ferry - Bergen Bergen - Oslo Oslo flight - Tromso (Tbf we wanted to go up by train and bus but it takes horribly long and its all unknown wheter we can get the bus connections by time or even a ticket...) Tromso - Joensuu (Partly by bus) Joensuu - Turku Turku ferry - stockholm Stockholm - Kopenhagen Kopenhagen back to germany I checked it via Interrail planer and it looks like everything’s fine, but would appreciate to hear your opinion!Alex
Wow you guys are amazing, such fast and competent help. Thank you so much, will try it out!
[Update: 15.47, I searched the train connection on the main page of the DSB and it says:“Unfortunately, you cannot buy a seat ticket for the selected journey.”. But we really need that train, does it mean we have to take a bus or need to buy the normal ticket and cant use our interrail pass? Its the train from lindholm to hjoerring and from hjoerring to hirtshals.]
Hey Seewulf, thanks for your quick response!We’re taking a ferry from denmark to norway, so thats not a problem. Although why’s it not possible from Sweden directly to Norway? Also where did you get the information from? So I can check that in future by myself . I tried the Danish Trains link you provided me, but somehow it doesnt find any train which the interrail planner suggests me… Thats weird haha. Its still 2months ahead, maybe thats the issue? Thanks for your help so far, have a great day!Alex [Update: 15.47, I searched the train connection on the main page of the DSB and it says:“Unfortunately, you cannot buy a seat ticket for the selected journey.”.
