It’s roughly a 10 minutes walk to reach the festival area, if you leave the main station in southern direction. Or you can take the 302 train, which is roughly a 5 minute ride. Get out at Wissenschaftspark or Stephanstra\u00dfe. We also recommend taking the bike. This way you are super flexible on the festival area and can get from A to B easily.
\nIf you drive, enter the address “Cramerweg 1″ into your navigation system. Here you will find a parking lot with enough space. Parking along the Bochumer Stra\u00dfe is not recommended. Otherwise, the parking lot of the Gesamtschule \u00dcckendorf is also available on Saturday.
