Car-Free Holidays in Baden-Württemberg

For a car-free holiday, one thing matters above all: good connections between railway stations and the countryside. Baden-Württemberg offers something virtually unique in Germany: in around 150 holiday destinations across the Black Forest, the KONUS-Gästekarte also serves as a ticket for bus and rail travel throughout the holiday region—at no extra cost. The AlbCard provides the same benefit in the Swabian Alb, while guests in Upper Swabia-Allgäu can take advantage of the AuszeitCard. At Lake Constance, the ECHT Bodensee Card is available in participating destinations on the northern shore, while the BODENSEECARD WEST covers participating destinations in the western Lake Constance region. Each region has its own solution for car-free travel.

Those who prefer to get active rather than simply sit back and enjoy the ride will also find suitable hiking and cycling routes that can be combined with short bus or train journeys. Many stops along the major long-distance routes are located directly on a railway line. Anyone wishing to turn a short car-free break into a longer stay can find special accommodation surrounded by nature in the Rural Holidays section of our website - often with a guest card included.
