Much of the route through Switzerland and Germany is closely followed by railway lines. In France between Basel and Strasbourg the railway is some distance from the route, while in the Netherlands there are no lines following the river and stations are only encountered at Arnhem, Rhenen and between Rotterdam and Hoek van Holland. Stations close to the route are listed in the text.

Onward travel from Hoek van Holland

Trains from Hoek van Holland run to Rotterdam, where frequent connections serve Amsterdam Schiphol, a major international airport with flights to worldwide destinations.

Stena Line runs two ferries daily from Hoek van Holland to Harwich in the UK, in the afternoon and overnight (www.stenaline.co.uk). On overnight sailings, passengers must reserve cabins. From Harwich, trains with cycle provision run to London (Liverpool Street) and to Cambridge, where connections are available to the rest of the UK. P&O ferries sail nightly from Rotterdam (Europoort) to Hull (www.poferries.com). The route to the P&O terminal is described in Stage 27.
