Today I went down to the train station and thought I would buy my train ticket, going from Münster to Thisted in Denmark.

Well, it was a good intention, but the Deutsche Bahn (DB) decided otherwise.

I planned my trip using the online website of the DB. It showed me which trains I had to take and when I would arrive at Thisted. Now being at the counter in the travel centre, the nice dame came around with different arrival information and trains.

The problem was reserving slots for my bike on the Danish trains and obviously the DB’s system had a problem communicating with the Danish information database. A call to Berlin, DB’s headquarter, later, the lady told me they already knew about the problem. But they (I guess their admins) cannot figure out if that’s a problem on their or the Danish side.

So in the end I didn’t only reserve bike slots on the trains going from Padborg to Thisted, but I also only got me a ticket from Münster via Hamburg to Padborg. This leaves me to organise travelling any further by train in Denmark.

The worst case would be seeing me cycling through Denmark now.

I am playing around with adding a Google Map of my trip (see the map section).

I still have to figure out how to connect the different points.

At the moment, I added the starting point in Münster, Germany and three possible train stops on my way to Hanstholm in Denmark. I am currently thinking about going to Holstebro and explore some of the Limfjord area and northwestern Jylland on my way to the ferry (roughly 100 km). Well, I have to think about it.

If you have any ideas on how to tweak an embedded Google Map, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
