Good afternoon, we are a couple with a 9 year old girl, we have always been on the road but this time we would like to do the interrail
The itinerary is from Turin (Italy) where we live, we would like to get a 5 day pass
1- Turin -> Milan-> Wien OBB night train
2- Wien -> Prague
3- Prague → Berlin
4- Berlin->Ringscheim/europa park
5- Ringscheim/europa park -> Milan-> Turin
1st question: unfortunately the rail planner app didn't show me the night train available before, but then today I checked on OBB and following your tutorial I tried to make a reservation for the three-bed sleeper on the Milan-Vienna train of 10 August or of August 11th the figure is around €289, is this correct with Interrail? Or am I paying full fare?
2nd question: we would like to spend the last two days at Europa park on the park's website it says that a Frankfurt Milan ECE151 train which stops at Ringscheim/europa park and connects the park to Milan in 6 hours would obviously be convenient for me, but still on the rail planner app I can't find this train and for the return it gives me a stopover in Basel. Where could I look for this train and its related reservation?
Thank you for any help you can give me and if you think the itinerary is good
Milan-> Wien OBB night train It can be booked with the Interrail?

You can book the night train on nightjet.com for example (add Interrail as a discount). Since Nightjet introduced dynamic prices for reservations 289€ seems normal (although very expensive!).
EDIT: I checked and yes it'd be 289.70€... :/
The EC doesn't run direct to Milan since the Gotthard base tunnel is closed. You must change in Basel or Zurich at least. Itinerary easily doable reservation-free. For example:
- RE Ringsheim - Basel Bad Bf 08:52 - 10:03
- S6 Basel Bad Bf - Basel SBB 10:19 - 10:25 (or any other train)
- IC21 Basel SBB - Lugano 11:03 - 14:48 -> scenic!
- hourly RE Lugano - Milano Centrale 15:02 - 16:17
- Freciarossa to Turin (13€) or RV
Simply be prepared for the German delays and have some margin.
