Train from Bruges to Munich using Eurail pass

Yes the 7pm rule applies. Be sure just before you board the train you enter the next day on your Eurail Pass. For example: ENTER 30/07/07 if you leave Brugges on July 29, 2007.

Reservatons are require on the night train.

Enjoy your trip!

Since the Bruges-Bruxelles leg will be completed before midnight, I think you'll use TWO pass days for your whole route. The "7:00 p.m. rule" would apply if you were starting from Bruxelles since the Bruxelles-Hannover leg is a direct night train. At least that's how I read the following quote from Rick Steves:

"A railpass day normally runs from midnight to midnight, but a direct overnight train or boat journey uses up only one of your travel days if you board after 7 p.m. (this is known as the '7 p.m. rule'). In that case, you just write the next day's date on your flexipass."

Adding to my previous post. If I'm correct, then I have a suggestion on how you can use save a pass day. Simply buy a regular ticket for Bruges-Bruxelles. Then use the "7:00 p.m. rule" for the rest of the way to Munich.

yeah, that is what I was worried about and have no clue how to actually clarify that before getting there. I wonder if we just paid for the Bruge - Bruxelles leg and then used our pass for the rest, that might fix it altogether. What would be perfect is if there is anyone who has actually done it!!!

Anyone....?!!!

thank you!
