Many of you will probably be going to Frankfurt by Auto. Here is how you get to the venue:

------

From the north:
Take the Autobahn A5 up to "Bad Homburger Kreuz", then Autobahn A661 towards Offenbach, and leave the Autobahn at the exit Offenbach-Kaiserlei.

------

From the south:
Take the Autobahn A3 at "Frankfurter Kreuz" towards Würzburg up to Offenbacher Kreuz. Change there to Autobahn A661 towards Offenbach and leave the Autobahn at the exit Offenbach-Kaiserlei.

------

From east or west:
Take the Autobahn A3 up to "Offenbacher Kreuz". Change there to Autobahn A661 towards Offenbach and leave at the exit Offenbach-Kaiserlei.

------

From Offenbach-Kaiserlei: Leave the roundabout towards Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen. Drive along the Main about 3 km. The road turns to the left, then to the right after about another 500 m. There you should take the right one of the two lanes that go to the left. After the next traffic light (Street: Deutschherrnufer) you reach the youth hostel on the left side (after about 100 m). Right ahead across the next junction you find on the lefthand side the parking garage "Walter-Kolb-Strasse". If you are lucky you might also find a parking lot in the vicinity.

------

Since there are only a few parking sites in the vicinity of the youth hostel and the hostel does not have a car park, we advise you to use public transport to get to the venue.
