Stockholm – Copenhagen – Hamburg – Frankfurt – Vienna – Budapest

In Hostinné
“I heard about you,” the woman who so kindly has been helping me with my family history in Hostinné says. “Yesterday, you were on the train, standing up, taking pictures, having fun.” Where her tone was between approving and disapproving, I couldn’t quite decipher.

Prague – Trutnov – Hostinne – Klasterska Lhota – Liberec – Jilemnice

Zurich – Basel – Brussels Midi – La Louviere
Brussels has several train stations, be sure to pick the right one. Read more
