The steam train and boat trip
The glorious invention of the 19th Century, the steam Train, hasn’t aged a bit and is still as impressive as back in the day. You’ll discover the Alsatian Ried and the Rhine through a combination of two uncommon and majestic public transits, the steam train and a cruise ship.
The boat trip
From the pier in Breisach am Rhein, you will board a boat for an 80-minute trip on the Rhine. The trip will take you to the “Sans-Souci” pier. You will discover the Rhine, this mythical river, 1300 km long, forming the French-German border.
The train trip
From there you will take a seat in an old open platform train pulled by a locomotive from the beginning of the last century. You will discover the Alsatian Ried and make a stop at the Volgelsheim station museum, where you can visit the old depot and see the old railway collection. Finally, the boat will take you back to Breisach am Rhein.
