Notes on registration

Registration is no longer possible. However, you can of course take part without prior registration. There are still places left on many guided tours, but some are already fully booked. Registration takes place from 10:00 a.m. at the central information pavilion between the ice cream and drinks stand. We would also like to draw your attention to the "walking time" in the tropical greenhouse from 9:30 to 11:00 and from 15:30 to 16:30. Here you can visit the tropical greenhouse on your own.

Children's program

In addition to an exciting program for adults, there is also plenty for children to do in the childcare area - bring your children along!

Travel information

We recommend using public transportation, as there are not many parking spaces near the campus.

Witzenhausen is within the validity area of the Landesticket from Kassel. Regional trains run from Wilhelmshöhe station and from Kassel main station at least every hour. The Steinstraße site is about 20 minutes' walk from Witzenhausen Nord station. There are regular city and regional buses from there (to Brückenstraße stop, Zolamtsplatz stop on the return journey).

The campus and the tropical greenhouse open for visitors at 9:45 and 9:30 respectively, the official start is at 11:00. It is therefore possible to arrive on different trains.
For people who want to arrive by car, we will try to organize additional parking spaces, but these are not in the immediate vicinity of the campus.

Additional offer of a shuttle with a VW bus from the department
