The ''Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket'', usually just called ''Wochenendticket'' which is valid for a whole Saturday '''or''' Sunday for up to 5 persons in all regional trains in whole Germany. They are 40 Euro. This means, you can actually get i.e. from [[Munich]] to [[Hamburg]] for 8 Euro, but it will take you about 12 hours. The ''Quer-durchs-Land Ticket'' does the same on weekdays but its price depends of the number of people which you have to decide forehand. You pay 42 Euro for the first person and 6 Euro more for each subsequent. On weekdays you can use the ''Länderticket'', which is about 20 Euro for one person or 30 Euro for 5 persons in all regional trains from 9:00 unto 3:00 the next day in a certain Federal State (sometimes several count as one).

You can travel with other people's group tickets (like the Wochenendticket) as these tickets are valid for up to 5 people and the number of passengers is not specified on the ticket. Just ask people on the platform if you can join their ticket before they enter the train. You can also just get on the train and hope to find people there but bear in mind that if you don't find anybody until the ticket inspector sees you, you're a blackrider. Some inspectors have also made a fuss because the people going with the ticket should be clear from the beginning of the trip, but that's rare. Some people might want you to chip in some money. In that case you can try to find somebody else as most people take you for free and, if you ask them, even give you their ticket when they are at the end of their journey.

It is also possible to join Ländertickets, but they are not as common and there is a cheaper Single version which is not useful because you cannot join it.
