East, South towards Bern, Zürich, Luzern

Take S1 or S3 in the direction of Olten or Laufenburg (both'll do..) at Basel's main train station ("Basel SBB"). Get off at Pratteln and follow the Zehntenstrasse (parallel to the railway tracks) in the direction of the train you took, for quite a short time. Go left at the little steps, which lead to a road underneath the tracks, then straight. Turn right at the small BP service station, then continues on the road Hohenrainstrasse. Follow this road for 5 minutes, keep on the left footpath, and you will then see a small commercial area. Turn left onto this street ,Zurlindstrasse, walk down until you reach a green area. Male your way down this until you reach the exit. You will be at the motorway service station Pratteln-Süd. It is open 24 hours a day.

You can use the other side of this petrol station to go to Germany. There is a crossing at the restaurant.

NOTICE: It might be useful to use a sign here or to ask people where they're going.. A few kilometres down the road there's a big crossing. You can choose between the direction Zürich and St. Gallen or Bern and Luzern.
