By road to Leipzig. by mwe
From the west, the route I used is the E40 (European 'Interstate' road naming system): which is generally the A (for Autobahn) 4 on the German system.The E40 is a pan-European road from Ostend (Belgium) which goes past Brussels and Liege. E40 takes you into Germany at Aachen, where it becomes A4 (Autobahn) to Cologne (Koln), Siegen (A45), Giessen (A48) and enters the east at Eisenach (A4). This takes you past Jena. You then go onto E49/51 (A9) to reach Leipzig.
The city names are as well-signed as the road numbers, so you needn't worry about remembering road numbers!
Blue road signs denote Motorways (=Autobahn/Autostrada/Interstate/Freeway) in UK, Germany and most other European countries.
