Sustainable travel by train
Travel to the Europa-Park Resort in a climate friendly way
To get from one themed area to another as quickly and efficiently as possible at Europa-Park, you can use the Panorama Train, the EP Express as well as the Monorail. Why not use the train to travel to the Europa-Park Resort?
Thanks to its convenient location in the border triangle of Germany, France and Switzerland and the new ‘Ringsheim/Europa-Park’ railway station, Europa-Park, the water world Rulantica, our six adventure hotels and Silver Lake City can be easily reached by train followed by a short bus journey.
Roland Mack (managing partner of Europa-Park) is particularly committed to the environment:
| "Everyone is talking about climate protection and the changes in people's mobility behaviour. A better rail connection for Europa-Park is therefore a first-class sustainability project. The rail connection is a very high priority for Europa-Park." |
Our tip: When buying your train ticket, make sure that it is issued to ‘Rust Europa-Park’ (not ‘Ringsheim/Europa-Park’) - then the bus journey from the station to Europa-Park, to Rulantica, to the hotels and to Silver Lake City is already included in the price.
Arriving by train has many benefits. See for yourself!
