You get all information and connections on www.bahn.de and can book via internet.

They have now cheap train tickets from different european countries (Also from London!). See the site - Europa Spezial. You need to be fast with booking!

For cheap tickets check “Offers for Travelers in Germany” and “Offers for Travelers in Europe”. There are cheap tickets for the IC/E trains (“saving fare 25” and “saving fare 50”) if you book via internet up to 3 days before leaving, only booking round trip. There is only a little amount of these cheap tickets. It’s better to book in advance, but you can only use that ticket for the train you booked.

Or “surf and rail” tickets for ICE if you book on Saturdays for the following week, only on some lines.

Or “regional tickets” for smaller distances in regional trains, like “Baden-Württemberg-Ticket” for inside our region (including distance to Basel, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart and Heidelberg). Interesting also for groups, as it costs only 27 EUR for up to 5 persons. For this connection you need to change trains every 50 – 100 km and do not find the schedule online, but it works! During the week you can only travel with this ticket from 9 am to 3 am the next day.
For weekends (Saturday and Sunday) you have a similar ticket for whole Germany up to 5 persons traveling from 0 am – 3 am next day (27h). You buy the tickets on the platform or at the desk. These are options for those who have time!
