I'm almost done with planning my first trip to Germany. I decided to use point-to-point tickets instead of a railpass, so my train schedules are mostly fixed already.

I would just like to add to the "via" feature, that you could use it to for "free" stopovers --- for a maximum of 48 hours from what I've read somewhere.
Part of my itinerary involved Berlin-Dresden-Prague, with an overnight stay in Dresden.

Had I booked the two legs separately, it would've cost me 29 EUR + 19 EUR + reservation fee. Using the "via" option, it just cost me 29 EUR + reservation fee.
