Underground Conference 6 - uc6.22

the hitchhikers guide to schinken

travel As mentioned several times already, this years location is the Bundeswehrdepot Bingen-Dromersheim/Germany. Bingen is a small city at the river rhine, in south-western germany. It's around 80 km west of Frankfurt/Main, 100 km east of Cologne. It can be reached easily by car, rail, air and ship.

If you want to go by plane, choose the Frankfurt/Main Airport as Destination. From there it will be about 60 Minutes by train (see below).
There also is a cool&cheap alternative for some countries: Near Bingen there is the airport "Frankfurt/Hahn". It is used by the low-price airline ryanair. "Frankfurt/Hahn" in fact is 150kms away from Frankfurt, but less than 50km to Bingen. For example, a trip London -> Frankfurt/Hahn is just 20 €! From Hahn on there is a direct bus connection to Bingen. If you plan to do a trip with several people, we might also send a shuttle transfer to the Airport to pick you up.

If you prefer to travel by train, use the online services by Deutsche Bahn. As destination station choose "Bingen(Rhein) Hbf". The distance from the station to the party location is over 5km, so you might consider using our shuttle service. To do so, you have to tell us the time of your arrival at the registration form.

There also exists the possibility to team up with other ppl/groups that go to uc6.22 by car. Have a look at our fake-agency for arranged lifts....

For going by car, please see the following suggested routes:

Northern Germany, Denmark, Sweden,...
France
Southern Germany, Austria,...
Eastern Germany, Poland,...
Bingen (last few km's for all routes)

Northern Germany, Denmark, Sweden,...

Get on the A7 direction Hannover (if you come from Sweden, get on A1 first till you reach A7 after Hamburg). Prepare for a loooooong ride till you get to the Hattenbacher Dreieck where you then leave the A7 to get on A5 direction Frankfurt/Main. Pass the Frankfurter Nordwestkreuz. Some km's later you will arrive at the Frankfurter Kreuz, A3 is the motorway to be then. Follow the signs to Mainz/Wiesbaden/Bingen (you'll see A67 and some others ;). You'll end up on the A60, direction Bingen. Follow it and see below.

France

First learn some real language please. Double-check you don't have any frogs in your bag. Then get on the A6 at Saarbrücken. At Kreuz Frankenthal you'll see the A61. Go there, direction Mainz/Alzey/Worms. Exit at Bingen (see below).

Southern Germany, Austria,...

Move your ass to Munich (if munich's the wrong direction for you, don't). Your routing guide may tell you to use the A8 to get to uc5.25", but don't believe it. A8 is always full of traffic-jams. Instead use the A9 till Nürnberg, then get on the A6, Direction Mannheim/Heilbronn. You'll end up at the Kreuz Frankenthal, just as the dudes from France. So look above... (yes, I'm lazy).

Eastern Germany, Poland,...

A9 is your friend. At Nürnberg, get on the A6 and see above (Southern Germany Route). You could also use the Northern Route (A4-A5-A3-A67-A63-A61), but A9-A6-A61 is far more easy and faster, too.

Bingen
