We have planned to take a train from Schwangau, Germany to Hall, Austria, staying one night (already booked) in Hall then a train on to Verona, Italy. Other recommendations have suggested using thetrainline.eu site to book our train from Hall to Verona but the site asks for the train station name in/near Hall. Any help is appreciated. Somehow, somewhere in the vast notes I've been making for this trip I've mislaid the information on how to get from Schwangau to Hall and then onwards to Verona. Ugh! Our departure date is soon arriving so I'm trying to tie up loose ends. Apologies for any repeated suggestions and so many thank yous for the help.

The problem is that their is no "Hall" in Austria, but three different places which include the word "Hall" in their names:
- Bad Hall, a marketplace and spa of Austria, in Upper Austria
- Hall in Tirol, a town in the state of Tyrol, Austria
- Hall bei Admont, a municipality in Styria
I guess the one you want to visit is "Hall in Tirol", which does have a station with that name. If you put Hall in Tirol into the railway websites, it works (I just tried it).

Hall in Tirol is just 5 miles or so east of Innsbruck, and like was said they have a small train station. It's just north of the Brenner Pass where the trains go thru to get you to Verona.
