Summer in sight: Explore the 3Land between relaxation and discovery

Summer is in a full swing across the 3Land territory. It is the perfect time to slow down, enjoy the long days, and (re)discover the richness of this unique trinational space. Looking for a new way to explore the 3Land this summer? Try it by bike!

Cycling is a simple, enjoyable, and sustainable way to cross three countries – France, Germany, and Switzerland – in just one day or afternoon. Thanks to the “3 Countries by bike” routes, a project led by the Trinational Eurodistrict of Basel, you can follow mapped circuits designed to connect iconic locations on each bank. Ride along the Rhine, cross borders, and pass through lively squares, parks, and neighbourhoods. A shorter route is also available, right in the heart of the 3Land perimeter – ideal for a local discovery.

To give you a glimpse of what your ride could look like, watch the video by Landesschau Baden-Württemberg: a joyful and relaxing journey through the heart of the Dreiländereck that perfectly captures the spirit of the 3Land and the essence of this unique trinational region, where nature, city life and borders meet.

If cycling isn’t your first choice, no worries - there are plenty of other ways to enjoy summer in the 3Land region. Relax along the banks of the Rine, take part in open-air events, browse local markets, or dive into a range of cultural activities. Countless opportunities await to help you make the most of this unique region.

The 3Land team is also taking some well-deserved time to slow down and enjoy a summer break, after several intense months of work, collaboration, and progress on the region’s development. Still, this break is far from a standstill, behind the scenes, the team continues to move projects forward, reflect on the next steps, and actively prepare for the months ahead. Because while summer may mean vacation, cross-border cooperation never truly takes a break.

The entire 3Land team wishes you a wonderful summer in this unique region. Whether you are a resident or just passing through, take the time to explore the many cultural, natural, and human facets that make the Dreiländereck so special.

We will be back very soon with fresh ideas, new projects, public spaces to imagine and mobility solutions to rethink – all fuelled by the same ambition: building together, across borders.
