Our UEX trains to Lörrach leave Hamburg on Friday evenings on many weekends, making them ideal for changing accommodation in the holiday regions in Switzerland and France. At the same time, we offer the many guests from Switzerland and Baden-Württemberg a weekend trip to the north to continue their journey to Sylt, Rügen or Scandinavia. The car train to the district town of Lörrach is one of our classic car train connections. Close to the border not far from Basel located, is Lörrach often booked as a stopover for holidays in France and Switzerland The connection to Lörrach is also popular with motorcyclists who want to enjoy riding in the mountains without first having to cover 800 kilometers on the highway in wind and weather. But the pretty little town is by no means just a stopover, because there is a lot to discover in Lörrach: an art trail through the town center leads you to an exciting mix of fountains and sculptures by well-known artists and in the Open Bridge under Lörrach’s freeway bridge you can admire graffiti and street art in large format. Rötteln Castle, one of the largest castle ruins in southern Baden, towers high above Lörrach.
