in Rhineland-Palatinate the Easter holidays begin on April 14, 2025, which significantly influences travel weather for many Germans. Eight more federal states also start the holidays. The ADAC Middle Rhine warns of a high traffic on the main travel days, especially on Maundy Thursday (April 17) and Easter Monday, which are considered particularly storing. The return weekend from Friday, April 25th, will also be susceptible to the background, which is why travelers are recommended to travel outside of rush hour.

Particularly enrolled routes, which are expected according to the ADAC, include:

  • A1 Cologne - Dortmund - Münster - Bremen - Hamburg
  • A1/A3/A4 Cologne Ring
  • A2 Hannover - Braunschweig - Magdeburg
  • A3 Cologne - Frankfurt - Nuremberg - Passau
  • A4 Görlitz - Dresden - Chemnitz
  • A5 Heidelberg - Karlsruhe - Basel
  • A6 Mannheim - Heilbronn - Nuremberg
  • A7 Hannover - Hamburg - Flensburg, Würzburg - Ulm - Füssen/Reutte

  • A81 Heilbronn - Stuttgart
  • A93 Inntaldreieck - Kufstein
  • A94 Munich - Passau
  • A95/B2 Munich-Garmisch-Partenkirchen

construction sites and disabilities

The traffic situation is also influenced by various construction sites in Rhineland-Palatinate. These include:

  • A1 Saarbrücken-Trier: Refurbishment Fellerbachtalbrücke until approx. 2027
  • A61 Koblenz-Ludwigshafen: 6-lined expansion until approx. 2028
  • A61 Mönchengladbach-Ludwigshafen: Refurbishment of Moselle Valley Bridge until around autumn 2025

The ADAC also predicts that on the long Easter weekend (17 to 21 April) in all directions on the highways can be expected with a high risk of steam. The highlight is expected on Maundy Thursday when many commuters and travelers are on the move. An increase in traffic jams is expected on the day before Maundy Thursday. Delays are also likely on Good Friday (April 18) and in the afternoon of Easter Monday (April 21).

public transport and flight

Deutsche Bahn expects full trains on the main travel days, which is why a seat reservation is urgently recommended. Maintenance work in the rail network is also carried out during Easter. Travelers at Frankfurt Airport should prepare for the fact that there is a lot of operation. Fraport AG recommends that passengers with luggage are at least 2.5 hours before departure at the terminal. 2 hours are sufficient for passengers with hand luggage. It is also advisable to reserve a time window for security control to minimize waiting times.

The border controls that have been carried out since September 2024 can also lead to waiting times, while long traffic jams are unlikely. Also abroad, especially in Austria and Switzerland, traffic jams on the long -distance routes can be expected, including construction sites and downhill barriers on important holiday routes. In Austria, several border crossings are closed for mouth and claw disease.

With the upcoming holidays and the associated travel volume, vacationers have to adjust to longer travel times. The ADAC advises to start early and be informed about the traffic situation in order to get to the goal safely and stress -free.
