What you are looking at

The start is Berlin Hauptbahnhof on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, departing between 9 and 11 am. The bright dots are stops you can reach by that minute, from white close by to blue-violet further out. The gold dots are places to stay in our holiday regions that, by our estimate, are no more than 1.5 km on foot from the station. A place lights up once the ride and the walk together fit into the time, and only those count towards the number in the top right.

The times are calculated from the timetable. Delays and cancellations are not part of the calculation.
