@quixoticgeek @albertcardona @jonmsterling @elduvelle Barcelona-Berlin is not one I’ve done. But the canonical way is to do Barcelona-Paris and the take the European Sleeper to Berlin. That being said, it only runs three times a week. There is a theoretical route that is Barcelona-Lyon-Genève-Zürich and then a sleeper to Berlin, but it’s a little on the tight side, and definitely not one change.

@moof @quixoticgeek @albertcardona @jonmsterling @elduvelle There is also a very convenient direct train Frankfurt-Marseille via Lyon. And in theory there is a connection from it to Lyon-Barcelona, but it's IIRC ~10 minutes interchange, with Barcelona-bound train on some days departing a few minutes before the train from Frankfurt arrives. Were they coordinated, that could be a relatively easy ~13-hour daytime journey with only two changes (and not having to pass through Paris). There are other theoretical daytime routes via Mulhouse though...
