There's something magical about all luxurious train journeys, and Europe arguably offers some of the most scenic ones, featuring only the best of countryside views, mountain villages, alpine passes, and landmark sites. A journey along the Schwarzwaldbahn Railway takes it up a notchss by taking you through an enchanting route from Offenburg to Konstanz in Germany. From the small town of Offenburg, the train quickly leaves the overhead trappings of urban life behind and glides into the pristine outdoors. En route, expect to see the dream-like mountainous Black Forest, villages with traditional timbered houses, and grassy meadows as you zoom through 39 tunnels and two spectacular viaducts! interrail.eu.
