Travel Information How to get to Rauischholzhausen Castle Conference Centre

ARRIVAL BY PLANE

The nearest international airport is Frankfurt Airport, about 80 km south to Rauischholzhausen. From there you can either take a train, or, if you prefer, rent a car.

by train
Inside the terminal, please follow the signs down to the train station below the airport (the train station is below Terminal 1; if you arrive at Terminal 2 you have to go first to Terminal 1 via SkyLine, which is free of charge). You can either buy the train ticket to Marburg at the desk you pass on your way down to the platforms or directly at the platform (the RMV - the local public transport company - code for Marburg is 0501). Alternatively you can come to Giessen first using the same train connections. You have to take a train (S-Bahn) to Frankfurt Central Station (roughly every 10 to 15 minutes). At Frankfurt Central Station you will arrive at one of the underground platforms. To change trains, you have to go upstairs to the main platforms. There, the best is to take the so-called Regionalexpress (RE) to Marburg (roughly ? minutes after the full hour), the travelling time is about one hour. There will be a bus shuttle from the train station in Marburg to Rauischholzhausen - but not very frequent and not in the evening.

by rental car
Inside the terminal, there are offices of all international as well as some local car rental companies. After getting the car, follow the signs to the direction Kassel or Hannover, this will bring you to the A5 (Autobahn - highway - number 5) going north. Continue at ARRIVAL BY CAR.
