Very cool tool, would love to see what kind the destinations are without reading. Like what is a lake or what is a big city.

Aber dennoch, sehr cool :)

Can you expand a bit. What do you mean by "what is a lake or what is a big city"?

Thanks for the comment.

Not GP, but you have e.g. Brocken and Cologne as targets, but the former is (the summit of) a mountain, the latter a city. A categorization of the destinations (maybe based on wiki voyage metadata?) may be a good addition for your very nice web app.

BTW: You have Heligoland[1] as a reachable destination. I don't think that's actually true, those are real high sea ferries for which, AFAIK, the 49 Euro ticket is not valid. :)

Yeah, that would be a cool idea. Will put it on my ToDo list.

Nice catch on Heligoland. Thanks. The final journey is via Schiff and I had not filtered that out. However, I don't know if DB categorizes Schiff that are included or excluded from the 49 Euro ticket.

I'm guessing they mean something like icons, or colour-coded tiny-font words with borders "lake", "city", "village" etc, on each title, to be able to tell at a glance what the different places are without having to expand them.
