Innsbruck to Hamburg by train

This train is usually scheduled to depart from Innsbruck Hbf at 20:44 and arrive in Hamburg Hbf at 08:47.

A train on to Kobenhavn/Copenhagen is usually due to depart Hamburg at 08:55, as outside the summer months, seat reservations aren't mandatory on that train, so if you'll be heading on to Demark and the train from Innsbruck arrives on time, you can dash to make the connection.
Alternatively there is usually a train heading to Aarhus in Denmark, which is typically scheduled to depart from Hamburg shortly before 11:00; and this train offers a good connection at Kolding station into a train on to Kobenhavn.

After calling at Hamburg Hbf, the train will also call at Hamburg-Dammtor station, prior to concluding its journey at Hamburg-Altona.

The train also calls at: Hannover.

Using rail passes:

However, these rail pass reservations can NO longer be booked online the DB website, but you can now book rail pass reservations without paying booking fees on the OBB website (OBB operates these trains).
Though the process for doing so isn't particularly obvious, hence the step-by-step guide.
If you'd rather not do so, rail pass reservations can be arranged and paid for at the ÖBB Reisebüro desk in Wien Hbf; ideally do this when you first arrive at Wien Hbf on the preceding train on your itinerary.
