 Saarbruecken Main Station by Nemorino
Three of the daily direct trains are EuroCities which stop here in Saarbruecken on their way from Frankfurt to Paris. These will presumably be replaced by French TGV trains when the new high speed line "TGV Est Europeen" is inaugurated in France in June 2007. (Germany as usual is lagging behind, so these trains will have to putter along at reduced speed as soon as they cross the border.) Leave a Comment

 Saarbahn line # 1 by Nemorino
Line number 1, shown in the photo, runs from Saarguemines, which is across the border in France, by way of Saarbruecken to Riegelsberg, a distance of 25.5 kilometers. An extension is now being built from Riegelsberg to Lebach, so the complete distance will be 44 kilometers. Leave a Comment

Here there is even a sign (near the theater in Saarbruecken) pointing to the ADFC regional office.
(I am of course a member of the ADFC, but in Frankfurt not Saarbruecken.) Leave a Comment

Being a state capital has some advantages, and despite its small size, Saarbrucken gets its own high-speed ICE line, making it easy to reach from anywhere in Germany. In about two hours the line takes you as far as Frankfurt, from where you can go just about anywhere. Regionally there are directl lines to towns like Kaiserslautern, Trier and Koblenz. Internationally there are also direct lines to Paris, Strasbourg and Luxembourg. Leave a Comment

even if theres an airport, you should know that its about 40 Km far from the city, so its better to take the plain to frankfurt and then go by train to Saarbrücken!
you can buy the saar-lor-lux ticket, that allows you to use all trains in this region, but its valid only at weekends, then theres a saarbrücken card for about 15 marks i think ant with it you can use all public transports at SB (there are lots of buses everywhere)
but besides this, SB is so small that you can go nearly everywehere by foot) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Saarbrucken does have its own airport but I think it is for flights within Germany. From the UK I flew into Luxembourg which is just a short drive away - this was the most convenient way I could come up with for getting there. Theme: Airplane

Often use local transport for a "sightseeing" trip. One tramline runs through Saarbrücken, we joined it at the main railway station and stayed on it to the end at Sarreguemines, just over the border into France. Journey time around 30 minutes each way. On a cold and wet day a good afternoon trip. Leave a Comment
