Freiburg-Basel for TS2018

Starting from Freiburg im Breisgau and going to the Basel Badischer Bahnhof, this gives you a very fun trip through the Rhine valley. It’s a stylish part of the European railway network and should be celebrated as a fun journey that leaves a positive impression. A commonly used part of the rail journey across Germany, this add-on looks to make sure it’s got the detail that a railway of this importance should have.

The route itself is very important for various reasons, not least the fact that it’s a major interconnecting travel route to both Switzerland and France via Germany. It’s also the best way to get to the Gotthard Base Tunnel, first opened in 2016.
