Coming from Frankfurt Airport it is strongly recommended to take a combination of train and taxi. The trip requires approx. 2.5 hours altogether. Take the direct train (2930.90 30 Euro) from Frankfurt Airport (“Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Regionalbf”“Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regiobahnhof”, regional train station) to Tuerkismuehle (“Türkismühle”, direction “Saarbrücken Hbf”). Tickets can be bought at the train station in the airport or on-line. It isn't possible to purchase tickets on the trains. Please note that Frankfurt airport has two train stations: the regional train station ("Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Regionalbfam Main Flughafen Regiobahnhof") and the long-distance train station ("Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Fernbfam Main Flughafen Fernbahnhof"). Take a taxi from Tuerkismuehle to Dagstuhl (43.00 Euro). Make arrangements for the taxi at least three days in advance (further rates and contact details). Payment for the taxi is only possible in cash (Euro).  The participants list will be distributed two weeks before the workshop. People can get then in contact for possible sharing of taxis or rental cars.

If you are familiar with public transport systems, don't mind waiting for the bus (waiting time of almost 2 hours in St. Wendel), and would like to avoid the taxi fee, you can take a connection (train 3132.90 70 Euro to St. Wendel, bus 8.10 30 Euro to Wadern). The bus ticket is available at the bus station or at the driver. See the website of the Deutsche Bahn for train and bus schedules. Use "Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Regionalbfam Main Flughafen Regiobahnhof" for Frankfurt Airport as start (station/stop) and "Wadern, Oktavie-Allee 1" for Dagstuhl as destination (address). A local map for walking to Dagstuhl will be additionally provided (click on “Map view” / “Destination station”) to the schedule for a specific connection (train and bus). Please make sure that you get into the correct bus in St. Wendel. The bus driver stops on demand at the Dagstuhl institute. Then you can avoid the walk from the bus stop “Dagstuhl Bahnhofstr“Bahnhofstr. Dagstuhl, Wadern” to Dagstuhl (map).
