Gengenbach to Colmar France

How far will the KONUS card take me?

Is it better to go through Freiburg and Breisach?

Will I be able to use the KONUS card all the way?

How can I look up train schedules for Breisach to Colmar?

What is the website for the French trains?

After Colmar we will go to Staufen?

Any help given will be greatly appreciated.

The website for French trains is sncf-connect.com
For Germany it is int.bahn.de

Here is how you solve this issue:

  • First look up the route. Go to www.bahn.de and plan Gengenbach to Colmar. You will notice that the fastest route is Gengenbach - Offenburg - Colmar.
  • Next figure out what ticket you need. For that you will need a map (remember those?)

KONUS has a handy map here: https://www.schwarzwald-tourismus.info/_Resources/Persistent/e25fc03a0aa9455761c22c7267070dd891cbb35a/KONUS%20Flyer_PDF%20Download.jpg

Thius map even mentions what the last station on each line is where the card is valid. So this tells you that your KONUS card is valid till Kehl. So you will need to add a ticket Kehl - Colmar.
That ticket you can buy on www.sncf-connect.com

Then yust hop on your train in Gengenbach, then change trains in Offenburg for Strasbourg. In Kehl you can just stay on the train. Splitting the ticket does not mean you need to get off. Then in Strasbourg you change for Colmar.
Going via Breissach involves taking a bus, and since it is a French bus it will have a schedule that will be designed for maximum inconvenience.
