How do I find cheap train tickets from Warsaw to Kiel?

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Warsaw to Kiel by booking early.§

3. Choose a slower or connecting train
