Mannheim is a city in Germany, located in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg.

The city of Mannheim and surroundings offer you a funny network of highways. Have fun while checking it on the map to your right.

In the south east of the city there is a freight train station with Europes second largest classification yard. Tramway number 6A is going there (station Rangierbahnhof). Some of the flatcar trains carrying (ISO) shipping containers go just a few kilometers into Mannheim Harbour.

You may take the Tramway to get near the motorway entrance Sandhofen. Take the tramway number 3 (light blue) to the final station Sandhofen Endstelle. From there it is less than a kilometer of walk to the entrance or the useful petrol station nearby.
