I did offenburg (60 km south of karlsruhe) bremen in 12-14 hours if i remember well, so going from karlsruhe to Kiel should be at least 14 hours if not more, and you will probably be changing train around 6-7 times. That said, it is nice, because you change train every 1-2 hours, and so the trip is not so boring. It would be the cheapest solution, maybe, altough we could consider renting a bus for doing the karlsruhe->oslo trip, if there are enough peopl interested. Friendly, Sven Luther
