problem with seat reservation in germany


I want to go from hamburg altona to copenhagen on 21st july (seat reservation required on interrail website).

On interrail website seat reservations are not possible to make because of errors so i tried on DB website but i saw this type of error on db site:

booking via www.bahn.de is not available for this connection. This is most often the case when it comes to regional trains, short distance trains or trains with a reservation obligation

cd.cz also sells these reservations for around €3 but if it's sold out, then it's sold out.

Plan B is to look for journeys via Flensburg (no reservations required). Plan C is via Niebüll.

You can use the DSB, direct link to seat reservation (international): https://travel.b-europe.com/dsb-rail/en/reservation-only

Price is 30DKK per train, around €4.

All trains are available that day so please double-check.

And indeed book via cd.cz, it’s cheaper.

EDIT : It seems that the 14:58 train is sold out. Would it be possible to take the 12:58 train instead ?


I’m sorry but i don’t know what i’m doing wrong. 
I’m on cd.cz website and “the requested service is sold out on this train."


I think its possible

There is no departure from Hamburg Altona at 10 on 21 July. There's one at 8:58 (change at Fredericia) and at 10:58, both with mandatory  reservations. So where did you see a departure at 10 without mandatory reservations?

OK, now look in the train details and you'll see an R in a square, and a remark at the bottom about mandatory reservation (in Czech).
