Hi all, I recently posted another question on here, but this question is about our next leg of our trip so I am making a separate post. We will be traveling from the Black Forest (Haslach) to Wengen, Switzerland with 2 adults, 3 kids. We'll have the KONUS card and I know that will only get us to the Switzerland border, but not beyond. I am checking the route both on Google maps and ChatGPT, but nothing beats feedback from an actual human who knows the route. Could you please tell me if I'm in the right direction here:
On our check out day, we can use our KONUS cards to get us from
Haslach --> Offenburg
Offenburg --> Basel
Once in Basel, we would need a purchased ticket to continue on, or use a Swiss pass (I haven't delved in to this yet, still figuring out our Germany transport up until this point) to continue on to Interlaken, then Lauterbrunnen and Wengen.
Is this correct so far?
With the KONUS, my understanding is that we don't need to book tickets ahead of time, we just take the train that we want within the BF region and show them our passes. So for our departure day, our KONUS cards would get us to Basel, and then would I need to reserve our train tickets from Basel - Wengen ahead of time? Or does the Swiss travel pass work similar to KONUS in the sense that we can use it for any means of transport on the covered map and just show our passes once on the train?
TL;DR Can we use KONUS to get us from BF to Basel without additional tickets?
Can we also use a Swiss travel pass to board a train from Basel and continue on to Wengen without reservations or should I make any of these reservations ahead of time?
Thanks
