The interpretation of experimental data of ultra-high energy cosmic rays\n(UHECRs) above 1017 eV is still under controversial debate. The development\nand improvement of numerical tools to propagate UHECRs in galactic and\nextragalactic space is a crucial ingredient to interpret data and to draw\nconclusions on astrophysical parameters. In this contribution the next major\nrelease of the publicly available code CRPropa (3.0) is presented. It reflects\na complete redesign of the code structure to facilitate high performance\ncomputing and comprises new physical features such as an interface for galactic\npropagation using lensing techniques and inclusion of cosmological effects in a\nthree-dimensional environment. The performance is benchmarked and first\napplications are presented.\n
