Sustainable travel by train

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 purchasing your train ticket, make sure that it is valid until 'Rust Europa-Park' (not Ringsheim/Europa-Park) - that way, the bus ride from the train station to Europa-Park, Rulantica, to the themed hotels and the Camp Resort is already included.

Arriving by train has many benefits. See for yourself!
