Helpfulness
The train station of Bad Herrenalb is not used by Deutsche Bahn any more. The dead-end railway line up the Alb valley has been adopted by Karlsruhe's tram network, so the yellow trams of the S 1 now do the passenger transport.
Besides, on some summer weekends an old steam train does tourist rides up there.
From the train station, several bus routes start that connect Bad Herrenalb with the villages further up in the mountains. There is also a line across the mountain ridge over to the Murg valley and on to Baden-Baden.
The train station is not manned any more, tickets have to be obtained from ticket machines. The station building now hosts Bad Herrenalb's tourist information office.

Bad Herrenalb and all the other places in the Alb valley are connected to Karlsruhe's tram network. The line S 1 runs from Bad Herrenalb via Ettlingen to Karlsruhe, passes both Karlsruhe central station and the city centre and continues further north to Hochstetten.
When coming from Karlsruhe, check carefully because the S 1 runs every 10 minutes in the city, but not all of them do the whole way, many end in Ettlingen. Two trams per hour (daytime hours on weekdays) continue to Bad Herrenalb, the interval is 20 and 40 minutes alternating. In the evening and on weekends there is one tram per hour. Have a look at the timetable before starting your trip to avoid long waiting periods (lesson learned the hard way).

Fares: A single ticket from Karlsruhe to Bad Herrenalb or back (5 zones) is 3.70 €.
Groups up to five people travel cheapest with the Regioplus ticket for 13.50 € which is valid for 24 hours of unlimited travel in the whole KVV area.

We were not intending to visit this little village, but it was getting late in the afternoon, so we decided to see if we could find accommodation as the previous two villages had none to offer....
