yeah, this silly map has only capitals cities
and works for illustration of a vision where countries come together
I was spending/wasting some time yesterday looking into the connection from Norway to Hamburg Hbf, as a new bold IC-line opened from Copenhagen to Hamburg on monday
there is a bus4you that brings you all the way down the Swedish coast to Denmark from Oslo🇳🇴 or is that only to Göteborg?
anyway -
in the Öresund region there are two option
- the new new IC-line from København (<5h)
- the SJ EuroNight from Malmö(>6.5h)
but coming from 🇳🇴 why not use the body of water lying there?
there is a direct connection from Oslo to Kiel (20h)
and Kiel to Hamburg by train (>1h)
in Denmark there is also the direct connection
- Kolding to Hamburg (3h)
so it possible to try use either Frederikshavn or Hirtshals as connection from ferry to train
there is as far as I know no current ferry from Norway to Frederikshavn, but there is a connection from Göteborg to Frederikshavn.
To Hirtshals there are 3 connections
- Bergen/Stavanger/Kristiansand to Hirtshals
- Kristiansand to Hirtshals
- Larvik to Hirtshals
This makes Kristiansand the safest bet from Norway and Hirtshals the safest bet in Denmark
(in non-winter season there are 3 connections from Kristiansand)
OK -
with Kristiansand, Hirtshals, and Kolding eatablished as hubs, we can connect with train to Kristiansand and from Hirtshals the regional train to Aalborg where there leaves an IC-train to Kolding
- Stavanger to Kristiansand (3h)
- Oslo S to Kristiansand (5h)
- Hirtshals to Aalborg (>1h)
- Aalborg to Kolding (3h)
- Kolding to Hamburg (3h)
