Hi Shamil
I have no idea but this http://www.seat61.com/ is supposed to be a great
website for rail travel information so maybe you'll find out there.

Shamil,

no I have not done such a trip. My kids did it with their American friends
some 25 years ago.
For planning purposes you also could look under the German railroad website
at:

http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/prices/index.shtml

I don't think you can use EurRail since you are a Russian resident. (I hope
I'm right with this assumption). According to the following page you are an
European and therefore not eligible.

http://www.eurail.com/eurail-booking-terms

It says:

Country of Residence

You can buy a Eurail Pass if you are a resident of a non-European country.
You are considered to be a resident of a country if you have been living in
this country for longer than 6 months on the first day of validity of your
Pass.

Residents from these countries are not entitled to buy a Eurail Pass:
Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Faeroer, Finland, FYR
Macedonia, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco,
Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San
Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,
Ukraine, United Kingdom, Vatican.

Train staff will check your residency in your travel document, so make sure
that you bring the right documents.

As a Russian you ,as all other Europeans, have to use the InterRail ticket.

For InterRail it reads:

http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/prices/europe/interrail.shtml

Participating InterRail countries

Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Italy,
Luxembourg, Montenegro, The Netherlands, Republic of Ireland, Republic of
Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Turkey and the pass is also valid on
the "Attica" ferry operating between Greece and Italy.

This is a fantastic option for week-long trips through Europe or even
extensive travel.

Please note: InterRail Passes are only available for residents of Europe.
People from outside Europe are entitled to purchase the Eurail Pass instead.

I'm sorry I cannot give you details for such a trip. However the above
mentioned pages should give enough information to plan your trip in detail.

You could also check:

http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/prices/europe/europa-spezial.shtml

Hope that helps. Pls let me know if you need further assistance.


Helmut

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year for all of you!

I wonder, can I get with EurRail pass from Helsinki, Finland to Paris,
France in 10 days travelling by train not more  than 4 hours every day?:

Finland -> Sweden -> Denmark -> the Netherlands (or Germany) -> Belgium ->
[Luxemburg ->] France

http://www.eurail.com/eurail-global-pass?currency=eur

Did anybody try to make such a trip?
Where one can get advised how to plan such a trip?

Thank you.
