Hi, I've not used an IR ticket before but I'm hoping to use a '5 within 10' ticket to get from Paris to Dusseldorf, and then hopefully finding a connection to Haldern for the Haldern Festival (12-14th August). Are there any preferred routes along this way? And would it require a lot of extra money for surcharges, hoping for as small a budget as possible!

Thanks,
Harry.

Hi

Düsseldorf - Haldern is by free Regional Express.
Journey time ~ 1 hour.
There are direct trains or trains with one change.
For details use the schedule planer: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]

Paris-Düsseldorf is possible by expensive THALYS train. Cheaper solutions as well via the following link.
First travel Paris-Cologne, there change to a free train to Düsseldorf (about 30 minutes by free Regiona Express):
