Many moons ago I visited Jersey (the one in the English Channel). One of the many highlights was visiting La Corbière[1], a lighthouse only accessible via a causeway that is submerged at high tide[2, 3]. Fascinating place. [1] https:/

Currently, Amsterdam-Frankfurt-Vienna-Zagreb-Belgrade-Skopje-Thessaloniki-Athens. Or Köln-Munich instead of Frankfurt-Vienna. Also, south of Belgrade I think the schedule is a bit sketchy. Source, as always, https://seat61.com
