The 68 kilometer long federal highway 317 (abbreviation: B 317 ) begins in Weil am Rhein , not far from the border triangle of France, Switzerland and Germany. On a short section, it crosses Swiss territory as a “ duty-free road ”. From Lörrach the road runs in a north-easterly direction - rising steeply from Todtnau - first in the Wiesental and leads directly above the source of the meadow over the Feldberg pass . It ends in Titisee-Neustadt .
From a legal point of view, part of the main road up here is also the spur road Am Seebuck , which branches off at the Feldbergpasshöhe in a northerly direction and continues uphill to the Hotel Feldberger Hof and the valley station of the Feldbergbahn . In connection with the construction of a roundabout below the hotel and a new driveway to the large car park for day tourists, only the last 160 meters of this originally 856 meter long road were rededicated into a municipal road and thus transferred to the construction work of the Feldberg municipality . So the highest point of the B 317 is not at the top of the pass, but at the aforementioned roundabout.
The "actual" federal road continues down to the Feldberg district of Bärental , where it crosses the Dreiseenbahn (Germany's highest standard-gauge railway line ) directly at its apex and then continues downhill to the Titisee , where it joins the B 31 in the urban area of Titisee -Neustadt finally ends.
history
The numbering for Reichsstrasse 317 took place in 1936 in the second phase of Reichsstrasse numbering. After Alsace was placed under civil administration by the German Reich in 1940 during the Second World War , the route from Weil am Rhein via Huningue (Hüningen), Ferrette (Pfirt), where the then Reichsstraße 396 converged, and Courtavon (Ottendorf) and further to the Swiss border to Porrentruy included.
The latest building history and planning
For decades, the direct connection to Lörrach at the city limits of Weil was interrupted by a missing section 738 meters long. After a long legal battle and seven years of construction, " the duty-free " was opened in 2013.
