Infrastructure

Car

Lautertal has two junctions to Bundesautobahn 73 motorway in the north and south. The former route of the Bundesstraße 4 is the longest main road of the village.

Rail Transport

The Eisenach-Lichtenfels railway line, also known as the Werra Valley Railway, ran through Lautertal until the 1970s. There was a train station in Tiefenlauter. Due to the fact that Thuringia belonged to the GDR, the train traffic was separated, later the route had to be abandoned. A reactivation is demanded by many, however the municipality is against it.

Public Transport

Oberlauter and Unterlauter are connected to Coburg by city bus line 2. The additional line 8318 connects all the other villages with Coburg.
