Just Trains - Three Country Corner Route

Drive 130km (81 miles) of track covering Austria, Germany and Switzerland and passing through 40 detailed stations!

This route lies in the heart of Europe and covers three countries. It starts at Lake Constance in Germany on the Island of Lindau, crossing over to the mainland on a railway dam and then following the shores of Lake Constance to the city of Bregenz in Austria.

From there you have two choices - either continue on the main line or take a branch line that to Switzerland. This branch line crosses the River Rhine,which forms the border between Austria and Switzerland, and continues to the city of Rorschach where the line terminates.

The main line starts its slow climb through the valleys to the city of Bludenz, surrounded by the often snow-capped mountains of the Alps, then becomes a single track mountain pass (Arlbergpass) that winds its way through the Alps. When the tracks reach the very top of the pass at St. Anton, the route finishes.

The Arlbergpass is a truly remarkable feat of engineering and is seen as one of the most important railway lines connecting the East with the West. Many international trains connecting Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Hungary make their journey over the steep windy pass every day.
