Freiburg-Basel

Our route begins at the main station in Freiburg im Breisgau and then leads to Basel Badischer Bahnhof. As part of the Rhine Valley Railway between Karlsruhe and Basel, it is probably one of the most important north-south connections within the European rail network and is now one of the busiest railway lines in Germany for both passenger and freight transport. The route is particularly important for cross-border rail traffic to Switzerland and France. It forms the main access to the newly built Gotthard Base Tunnel towards Italy.

The development status is shown around 2013/14. The Katzenberg tunnel, which opened in 2012 as part of the double-track high-speed line between Haltingen and Schliengen, is also included. The container terminal in Weil am Rhein and the freight bypass in Freiburg are also part of our route. The route thus offers numerous opportunities for interesting driving tasks on more than 80 km of track.
