From Germany, I have been:

to Switzerland (3 or 4 times)
to Sweden via Denmark (twice)
to Italy via Austria (one direction) and Switzerland (other direction)
to Corsica, technically a part of France (don't tell them) via Italy, also taking a ferry
to the Czech Republic
and some mixed hitchhiking & train to Belgium and France

And I will go to France (Bretagne) soon.

I hoped to take the sleeper some time, but all routes we looked for, they are so much more expensive than a day train + one night of hotel stay that we opted for the latter.

Out of the countries I have been to, France and Italy have the best connections between cities/regions, while Denmark has the worst.
