The town of Lörrach is located in the border triangle of Germany, Switzerland and France and offers a perfect mix of urban flair, nature experiences and cultural highlights. If you want to start your vacation in a climate-friendly and stress-free way, the UEX car train is an ideal alternative to long car journeys. Our trains bring travelers and their vehicles to Lörrach overnight in a relaxed manner – ideal for a quick start to your vacation in Switzerland, Alsace or the Black Forest.

Sustainable travel with the UEX car train

Climate change and increasing traffic congestion on European roads are making sustainable travel options increasingly important. The UEX car train makes it possible to start your vacation in an environmentally friendly way, as rail travel causes significantly fewer CO₂ emissions than private transport. By taking your own vehicle with you, you remain flexible on the ground.

Stress-free arrival and mobile on site

The UEX departs from Hamburg on many weekends and reaches the district town of Lörrach in the morning. While the vehicle is safely stowed in the transport coach, passengers can relax in our couchette or sleeper compartments and start their vacation well rested. The advantages are obvious:

No traffic jams: Relaxed travel without overcrowded highways.
Relaxed start: Arrive rested and stress-free.
Sustainability: Lower CO₂ emissions thanks to rail transport.
Time saving: Travel overnight and start your adventure straight away in the morning.

Activities and experiences in Lörrach
