Train travel between warsaw and bern?

We would like to travel by train between these cities:

Warsaw to Prerov, CZ (3 days in prerov)

Prerov, CZ to Bern, Switz



It would be great to have a two day layover somewhere in Germany between Prerov and Bern.



Any suggestions? This is one way travel. We don't know which city in Germany would be the best for us for sightseeing and the best for travel onto Bern, never been to germany before.



We couldn't find any packages via eurorail or any other passes.



Any suggestions



Thank you - we would appreciate any assistance..Train travel between warsaw and bern?
The night train from Warsaw to Vienna stops in Prerov, but in the middle of the night: Depart Warsaw at 9:05 pm, arrive Prerov at 3:15 am.

Or you can depart Warsaw at 6:00 am, arrive in Prerov at 11:11,

Or depart Warsaw at 9:10 on the train towards Prague, change in Bohumin at 13:24(arr.)/(dep.) 13:38 to Prerov at 14:37.

Or, depart Warsaw at 11:00 on the Vienna-bound train, arrive in Prerov at 16:11.



From Prerov to Bern, I'd recommend the night trains from Prague to Germany, for ex.

The Amsterdam train leaves prague at 18:50 and you could go to Cologne/Koln, arrive at 6:14 next a.m. It's a nice, big city with a beautiful cathedral and some roman ruins.



You can get from Prerov to Prague on a direct train dep.13:43, arr. 17:19, or other trains that change in Olomouc, dep. prerov at 15.36, arr. Prague at 18:32, or dep. Prerov at 16:42, arrive Prague at 20:00'



OR, the Basel train leaves Prague at 20:25, stops in Frankfurt at 6:54, next a.m., Mannheim at 7:50, Karlsruhe at 8:18, Offenburg at 9:01, and Basel at 10:37.

You could get out at Mannheim and take a quick train to Heidelberg, which is a classic German town, or from Mannheim to Wurzburg, also a great town. Or go to Offenburg and change to a quick train ride to Strasbourg, France, just over the border. It's a beautiful place.

From Heidelberg, Wurzburg, Koln, or Strasbourg, you can easily get to Bern via Basel. There are frequent trains.

Example: Heidelberg to Bern:

11:14 to 14:56 with a change in Mannheim at 11:29.



You could take a train from Prague at 13:16 to Nurnberg, arriving at 18:09. It's a neat old city in Bavaria, and not far from, Munich, Wurzburg and Rothenburg. Getting from Prerov to Prague is easy, just check the schedules on this site:
