    I think the most interesting journey I made was many years ago. I was traveling from the Hook of Holland to Berlin by train. The Wall was still up,.every time the train went through an eastern part of Germany armed guards would get on and passengers had to pay a small amount of money. They examined evert passport. I was on my own and will never forget that journey. Even the seats were wooden.
    This doesn't happen today I know and I am sure you will enjoy your journey.

    I went interrailing back in the 80's, they did this at every border, although I didn't ever have to pay!

    As you'll need your passport for the first leg of your journey- why wouldn't you have it on you for subsequent border crossings ?

    To be fair to the OP they never suggested not having the passport, it's the rest of us wonder whether it would ever be needed for a within-Schengen border crossing.
