The small town of Lörrach is the perfect destination for a motorail holiday: with France, Italy, Switzerland and Lake Constance, four fantastic holiday destinations can be reached from the Dreiländereck (the area where Germany, France and Switzerland meet). At the same time, we offer guests from Switzerland and Baden-Württemberg a weekend trip to the north for onward travel to Sylt, Rügen or Scandinavia. In the past, our trains on this route were often fully booked. The train to the district town of Lörrach is a classic among our motorail 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 loading terminal in the small town is conveniently located, from here it is only a stone’s throw to the sports and mountain hiking areas of the northern and western Alps. The route to Lörrach is also popular with motorcyclists who want to enjoy the mountains without having to travel 800 kilometres on the motorway in all weathers.
