I just came across this tool, which - after entering a city - shows all other cities to which there is a direct train connection. A color code depicts the travel hours.

Examples:

Although I'm not quite sure yet on what occasion I can use the tool. But someday the moment will come :D

Btw. there is a Sparpreis search on https://bahn.guru/ with a monthly view ("On which day do I travel cheapest from A to B?"). Unfortunately the links to the store don't work yet.

In itself, I like to take the train to go on vacation. It has a lot of benefits. But one thing I avoid whenever possible is connecting trains. If you don't want to ruin your trip, don't change trains more than once and even then only with a lot of time buffer. If that is not possible, I prefer to make a stopover for 1-2 nights instead and continue the journey on a different day.

The good thing is that you sometimes end up in wonderful places that you don't even have on your radar. This tool had already helped me with that.
