Chocolate and transit · Liechtenstein to Frankfurt
Day 14 · Lindt and the Frankfurt CarLoft
The day first visits Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg, then continues through Basel and Karlsruhe to the booked Car Loft – Planespotting at b’mine Frankfurt Airport.
The plan
Lindt first, the CarLoft at the finish
The museum is sold out, but the chocolate fountain, large Lindt shop and café can be visited without a ticket. After the short stop, prioritise progress through Basel and Karlsruhe.
- 01
Leave Schaan around 08:30. Use Seestrasse 204, 8802 Kilchberg in the GPS for the garage entrance; the shop and café open at 10:00.
- 02
Allow 45–60 minutes for the nine-metre chocolate fountain, shopping and possibly the café. No ticket is required.
- 03
Starting at 58%: plan IONITY Oftringen after Lindt and normally charge to about 80–90%.
- 04
Use IONITY Bruchsal West as the second stop; IONITY Mahlberg Ost is the earlier backup if consumption is high.
- 05
Check into the booked CarLoft, document the car lift and leave the car beside the room.
ABRP recalculates the route and charging stops. Weather, speed, temperature and actual battery level can change the result.
The hotel decision is final and the stay is booked for 2 adults and one 14-year-old child in 1 room.
Each stop is attached to the relevant day, but actual charging need, traffic and battery level decide. Confirm availability in myAudi before arrival.
The starting level in Schaan is 58%. After Lindt, drive approximately 65–75 km to Oftringen. Follow Audi's predicted arrival level and normally charge to about 80–90%. Twelve fast-charge connectors at up to 350 kW are listed at the site.
Directly on the northbound A5. Use this stop if consumption is high, the car recommends an earlier break or predicted arrival at Bruchsal becomes too low. Six CCS connectors at up to 350 kW.
Directly on the northbound A5. A short charge to roughly 55–65% should provide a healthy margin to Frankfurt, but follow the car's predicted arrival level. Six CCS connectors at up to 350 kW.
Four charging points at up to 300 kW beside Klassikstadt. The car displays and dining make it interesting, but it sits across the city from the airport hotel.
Worth seeing
Stops and experiences along the way
These are candidates, not a checklist. Energy, weather and traffic decide what actually fits the day.
Lindt Home of Chocolate
The museum is sold out, but the entrance-hall chocolate fountain, 500 m² Lindt shop and café are open from 10:00–19:00 without a ticket. The garage has limited capacity and six charging spaces.
Lindt opening hours ↗Basel and Karlsruhe
These cities mark the efficient northbound corridor after Lindt; choose stops according to traffic, charging and energy.
Basel Tourism ↗CarLoft
The car lift takes the vehicle to a private CarLoggia beside the room. The experience proved fantastic and became one of the trip's most distinctive hotel stays.
