We usually recommend to arrive at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) as you will find direct services to all European cities from there. Every hour, a direct high-speed railway connection services Karlsruhe in just one hour. If more convenient for whatever reason, you can also fly into Stuttgart (STR) or Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (FKB, Ryanair). From Stuttgart you best take a rental car though train connection is available with changing trains at Stuttgart main station. From Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden a shuttle bus offers service to Karlsruhe main station or you can rent a car.
