Adaptive Finite Elements: Analysis and Application

Finding your way to Kirchzarten

The workshop itself takes place in the Kurhaus (map). How to get there:

by car (from Freiburg) exit Freiburg-Mitte, proceed in direction Donaueschingen/Titisee-Neustadt, you are reaching Kirchzarten after roughly twelve kilometers, after crossing Freiburg. The Kurhaus is located opposite the public open air pool. Follow the road signs to the Kurhaus.

via airport Frankfurt (Germany) There is a railway station at the airport. Take the train towards Basel. The train takes roughly 2 hours to Freiburg railway station.

via airport Basel (Switzerland) The airport has a Swiss and a French exit. Leave the baggage area via the exit marked France (do not take the one marked Switzerland). At the outside of the Airport building (French side) take the Bus to the Freiburg - railway station. The bus ride takes one hour.

at Freiburg railway station take either a taxi (about 25,- EUR) or take the train to Kirchzarten (towards Titisee), leave at the third station. The ride takes about 12 minutes. In case that you do not have a long-distance train ticket to Kirchzarten you have to obtain a ticket for the local transport services at the train station. It is not possible to buy such a ticket in the train. There are ticket machines on the platforms, you will need a "zone 2" ticket. The train probably leaves from platform 7.

at Kirchzarten (railway station) you have the choice of a ten-minute walk to the Kurhaus or to take a taxi.
