General Information About Our Workshops

Travel

The nearest airport is Hamburg: http://www.hamburg-airport.de. 

After arrival, when you exit the automatic doors after baggage collection and customs, there is a meeting area and a coffee shop. Turn to the left (whether you are in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2) and look for a sign with an S symbol, indicating the S-bahn, the suburban light-railway. Follow the signs downstairs to the station and buy a one-way ticket from the machine to Plön (via Lübeck). There is also the possibility to go by bus (bus stop is in front of the airport building) via Kiel and change to the train there, sometimes this is faster. You can check out current timetables here (includes regional buses & trains): https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml.

In Plön, the institute is a 10-minutes-walk from the railway station.
