ECITE 2006 in Haslach / Austria

How to get there

By train:

Take a fast train to Linz: There is a couple of overnight trains from Paris, Freiburg/Germany, Zürich, Berlin, Venice,..... From Linz take a regional train to Haslach 8 times/day at working days – 5 times/day on Sundays or holidays. (August 15th is a holiday in Austria) The exact info you get at www.oebb.at if you fill in: Haslach (A) as your destination!
Notice: the regional train does not leave from the main station! You have to take the tram Nr. 3 to „Mühlkreisbahnhof“, which takes about 15 minutes. Tickets for the tram you get at the tram station. (Notice: only the first automat coming down the staircase does change money) If you have waiting time in Linz I recommend staying at the main station to have a coffee or to visit the city. At the small station called „Mühlkreisbahnhof“ there is no really nice place to wait for a longer time.
Notice: The tram station “Mühlkreisbahnhof” is also called “Linz – Urfahr”
Notice: the train station in Haslach is outside the center. We are planing to send a bus to all trains arriving on august 12th and august 15th. If you arrive any other day, please get in contact with us, we will arrange that you will get picked up.

By air and train:

The nearest airport is Linz www.linz-airport.at followed by Salzburg, Vienna, and Munich. If you want to save money you may also take Bratislava into account and fly in by Sky Europe.

How to get from the airports to Linz – Mühlkreisbahnhof (=Linz Urfahr) :

Linz: On working days there is a bus every hour to „Goethekreuzung“ from 6.00 a.m. to 7 p.m. from there take the tram nr 3 to Mühlkreisbahnhof. (=Linz Urfahr) On holidays (august 15th is a holiday) there is only one bus a day! At 4.30 p.m. Fee: 2,3o€

Salzburg: there is a bus every 10 minutes to Salzburg Hbf (main station), it takes 21 minutes. From there take the train to Linz HBF (one train/hour – taking about 90 minutes), from there take tram nr. 3 to Mühlkreisbahnhof. (=Linz Urfahr)

Vienna: in Vienna you have different possibilities: a) from 6.00 a.m. to 12 p.m. there is a bus every half an hour to Westbahnhof, - this is the easiest version to get to Wien Westbahnhof - from there take the train to Linz HBF (two trains/hour – taking either 1,5 or 2 hours), from there take tram nr. 3 to Mühlkreisbahnhof.
b) take an ordinary train (called “Schnellbahn”) to Wien Mitte, from there: underground U3 to Westbahnhof - this is, I think the cheapest version
c) take the CAT train to Wien Mitte, from there: U3 to Westbahnhof - this is fast, but expensive

Bratislava:
Take a train to Vienna. You may arrive at the south station. If this happens take tram 18 to “Westbahnhof”. Continue: see above
