Hello fellow travelers, We have been searching the internet and the boards and are still a little confused. We are trying to get from Cesky Krumlov to Ljubljana. I've tried IDOS but it has so many things listed for the trip, that we can't figure out if we have to change trains, or stay on for all the stops, etc. Somehow I once managed to travel Europe by myself for 2 months, but I can't figure this out. If you know of any other good ways, or can decipher what this says below, please let me know. We'll be in Prague for 3 days prior to going to CK for 2 nights. Then Slovenia for 3 nights then off to Venice! ***SIDENOTE - we're also having a tough time figuring out how to get to Venice from Ljubljana. We'll be renting a car in Slovenia and returning it either in Ljubljana or somewhere else that makes sense before getting some transportation to Venice. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

As you figured out there is no direct public transportation link between C.K. and Ljubljana. If you check DB website you will find that you have to change trains at least 3 times: In Ceske Budejovice, Linz and Salzburg. There is a direct train between Salzburg and Ljubljana. You can find your connection between Ljubljana and Venice on DB website, too. The fastest is to go by train to Villach and then by bus operated by OBB (Austrian Rail) to Venice. If you do it all by train then you have to add another change in Udine.

Here's a possibility for your consideration. Take a shuttle (they use cars or vans) from CK to Linz main train station. We did this last August and it took about an hour, maybe a little more. There are several shuttle companies, just google. You can find trains from Linz to Ljubljana with just one or two changes that take 5H 38M. With the right timing the trip should be at least a couple hours less than what you show in your post. Good luck and have a great trip.
