Does a journey straight across my homecountry count as inbound/outbound?

D

Hi there,

i planned my trip on the interrail-website and there was nothing wrong with it (i thought)

I live in Germany and want to start my trip here.

The start would be Hamburg and the outbound-journey would be to the Netherlands. After a few days I want to go to Linz (Austria), which requires trains across germany, but start and destination arent based in Germany so I think it cant count as inbound/outbound. The route isnt crossing my hometown either.

On the last day I want to travel from Linz to Hamburg as inbound-travel.

 

Is this possible since the planner-app rejects this?

 

Thanks for your thoughts

Any travel in your country counts as travel in your country of residence. For you, that includes from the Netherlands to Austria via Germany.

On a mobile pass (but DB sells mostly old-style paper passes in its own Reisezenter) you can use 2 days to travel in homecountry-which is even a little wider as just the return trip from home to border.

Check if it is not much more teuerer to book a seat direct from the trip Ams-L on NJ-you then would also save a travelday, seats sell from 29.90-but then you have to be really very early.
