Hello,

I'm searching for a convenient and fast possibility to travel to the IMC 2008.
How
do the other participants travel, especially those from western Germany,
Belgium and the Netherlands?

Up to now I found the following (starting point Bochum in the Ruhr Area):

By car about 1250 km and estimated 14 h plus sleeping overnight.

By train about 20 h (start on Wednesday 19:36, via Mannheim and Vienna and
arrival in Banska Bystrica at 15:48) and retour starts at 17:51 in Banska
Bystrica and back in Bochum on Monday at 12:09 or 13:09.

There are no direct connections from Dusseldorf to Bratislava. The best I found
from Dusseldorf is via Budapest: LH 3472 departure at 11:50 and back with LH
3475, departure at 20:10 in Budapest.

The link to the timetable of the slovak railways didn't work. So I don't know it
it is
possible to reach Budapest airport at 18:00. So I would probably prefer to rent
a
car at Budapest airport.

I'm looking forward for your considerations.

Clear skies
Bernd
