Honestly train travel is just such a nice experience compared to flying. No security, no coming early, almost no limit on luggage, bigger seats, food on board, less noise, I could go on. If I have to take a 2 hour flight I would rather take a five hour train ride.
When my wife and I visited Germany we bought tickets that were good for 7 non consecutive days on ICE for $500 for the two of us. It was a great experience and we'll do it again. (I think that deal is only available to non-EU visitors.)
