?4 county pass traveling through 5?

[snpr520]

I used the railsaver web site and I plan on Visiting Spain, France, Italy, and Netherlands.

It told me that a 4 country pass is what I should use, but I have to travel through Germany or Belgium to get to the Netherlands. I was under the impression that they had to be bordering countries and I would have to get a 5 country pass.

Can anyone help me with this. If this is the Case I would love to go to Greece but Its too far from the others.

It depends on your pass, but for some passes (at least the European Interrailpasses), the Benelux (Belgium,Netherlands,Luxembourg) are regarded as one country, so check that first. If that doesn't apply, just consider buying a p2p-ticket from the France-Belgium border to the Belgium-Dutch border. (or see if you can bypass this by flying Paris-Amsterdam (Vueling Airlines, will start this service this summer)

herrbert is right. belgium and netherlands count as one country in the railpass.
