National Rail recommends the following Interrail train journeys for breath-taking travel this summer:

Croatia’s night train – Take the night train from Zagreb to Split. Enjoy the cool night breeze and wake up to the incredibly scenic views of the Dalmatian mountains all the way down to sea level. During the summer season, the train runs daily. Interrail Passes that include Croatia are valid for the entire route.
Germany’s Black Forest route – From Offenburg to Hornberg this train travels through an abundance of grassy fields and tiny quaint villages, through cool pine forests all the way to the final destination of Lake Constance. The route is 150km long and ascends 650 meters. Interrail Passes valid for Germany can be used on all Deutsche Bahn run Black Forest Train lines
Spain’s Algeciras to Ronda route – Eleven stations between Algeciras and Ronda have seen the preservation of many of the classics of its British engineering from 1890 including single-story stations, old station clocks, and all of the original hand-operated points and signals. On RENFE trains customers can enjoy the lap of luxury for the almost two-hour journey. All RENFE lines are included with an Interrail Pass covering Spain, however, reservations may be required
Macedonia’s history and mountains route – On the train from Skopje, pass by Tetovo’s decorative Sarena Mosque, or travel to the southern mountains. The route offers endless choices and as Macedonian Railways are in the Global Pass, will enable cross border travel.
Austria’s Semmering route – Built between 1848 and 1854, the line was the first railway to be put on the list of UNESCO world heritage sites. The route is also well-known as the world’s first true mountain railway. Offering spectacular mountain-scape, tunnels and viaducts along the way there’s no chance of getting bored. Interrail Passes for Austria are valid on the Semmering line with no supplement or reservation required.

Jacqueline Starr, CEO of the Rail Delivery Group said:

“Many of us are increasingly concerned about our personal impact on the environment, and what we can do to lessen it. We hope that this great offer on Interrail Global Passes will help more people enjoy sustainable and scenic adventures by train this summer”.
