Lörrach

Lörrach is in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg, right in the south of Germany.

By plane
Euro airport near Basel (but on French soil) has flights from many cities in Europe including from budget carriers.

Travellers from further away may find it cheaper to fly to Zurich and take a train from the airport there to Basel SBB and thence to Lörrach by train.

Get around
There are train services from the central station every half hour to Basel (leaving at one minute past the hour and half hour). Trains can also be used to get to the southern suburb of Stetten or the northwestern suburb of Steinen. There is also a bus service around Lörrach but buses are not as frequent as trains. However, most areas are within walking distance of the central city.

From Stetten, the Swiss border is in easy walking distance and the number 6 tram runs from the border into Basel.

Further afield

 * Holzen is 13 km north and has large stork nests on top of several buildings, most picturesquely on a narrow church spire. Look for a witch's house (marked with 'Hexe') - if you put 50 cents in the slot the shutters will open and a mechanical witch appears to tell you (in German) about her life.
 * Inzlingen is a neighbouring village which can be reached walking through the foothills of the Black Forest. It has its own castle, Inzlingen Castle (Wasserschloss Inzlingen).

Do
Go for a walk through the foothills of the Black Forest, which surrounds the town.
