Arrive
By train
Salzbergen was once an important railway junction for the Netherlands. In the station of the steam train te Haaksbergen can still be seen that a rail connection from Almelo to Salzbergen was once maintained. Nowadays trains run on these rails from Amsterdam to Berlin. They have no stop in Salzbergen; only the RB trains from Bad Bentheim to now stop there Osnabruck and beyond, and the slow trains from Rheine to Meppen and Emden. Together with the Syntus train from Hengelo nasty Bad Bentheim do they offer a fast connection between Twente and the Emsland, albeit with a lot of switching.
