Directions

By car : From the Autobahn A9 which runs in the North-South direction 
         from Berlin to Munich take the exit Eisenberg (see map, circle 1). 
         This is two exits north of where the A4 crosses the A9.

         Drive towards Eisenberg.

         Drive through Eisenberg (on the B7) towards Gera. Presently, 
         there is a local detour, if that still exists on Oct 08, just 
         follow the U signs (detour signs) towards Gera.

         You will seemingly leave the town of Eisenberg and after about 
         two kilometers enter a village which is Kursdorf (still part of 
         Eisenberg though) (see map, circle 2). In Kursdorf you take a 
         sharp right turn at the sign Mühltal which leads you onto a 
         narrow road.

         Continue on to the Walkmühle (see map, arrow). At the sign
         Walkmühle turn right and drive up to the buildings. There is 
         ample parking.

         Excuse the limited quality of the map, a better, printed
         version is in the mail.


Alternative route : Instead of exiting the motorway A9 at the exit Eisenberg 
         use the exit BAD KLOSTERLAUSNITZ instead, which is one exit south of 
         Eisenberg and one north of where the A4 meets the A9 (Hermsdorfer Kreuz). 

         Drive to Bad Klosterlausnitz which is about 2 km from the exit, turn 
         left in the center of that small town, towards Eisenberg. 

         About 0.5 km after the city limit (which is at the Renault garage) 
         turn right at the sign "Muehltal".

         Follow the small street into a village called Weissenborn. There you 
         make a really sharp turn at another "Muehltal" sign (this one is a bit 
         hard to spot, but there aren't many possibilities). You are led onto a 
         very narrow road into the scenic Muehltal (try to arrive before dark,
         the scenery is really beautiful), where, after about 4 or 5 kilometers 
         you will arrive at the Walkmuehle, which is on the left side if you 
         come this way.


By train : Either arrange with me ahead of time and come to Jena around 
           lunchtime or early afternoon on Thursday Oct 08, then you can 
           go by car with one of the Jena participants,

           or take the train to Crossen (also spelled Krossen) which 
           is on the Leipzig-Gera line. Let me know in advance when you 
           will be there, then I can arrange to have you picked up at the 
           station. Check the train schedule  here .

           Trains run about once per hour in either direction at least 
           during daytime. It's about a 40 minute trip from Leipzig and 
           about a 15 minute trip from Gera.
