Travelling to Klagenfurt...
To get an idea on the location of Klagenfurt,
you may have a look at this: where
is Kärnten?
...by
car from the highway (all directions) to the University:
Coming from the West (Salzburg, Villach), you
first go until "Klagenfurt West" which is the next crossing after
Krumpendorf. Be careful and take at Klagenfurt-West the leftmost lane
directly to Klagenfurt Center. At Klagenfurt-Wörthersee (1,5 km after
Klagenfurt-West) you leave the highway. Coming from the North (St.
Veit) or the East (Graz, Vienna), you follow the many tunnels in the
north of Klagenfurt westwards. Immediately after the Falkenbergtunnel
you take the second exit (about 300 m after the end of the Tunnel, so
be alert!) directed to "Klagenfurt West". About 1,5 km after that you
leave the highway at Exit "Klagenfurt-Wörthersee".
After having left the highway at
Klagenfurt-Wörthersee (=Klagenfurt-See in short) you immediately come
to the so called "Minimundus-Crossing" (with traffic-lights). You keep
straight direction towards south. After 400 m you will see the logo of
the University of Klagenfurt. Turn left into the Universitätsstraße.
You have arrived at your destination.
...by
car from Slovenia (via Loiblpass) to the University:
Coming down the Loiblpass you go right through
Unterloibl, Kirschentheuer, passing the Hollenburg and Maria Rain until
you come to the first traffic lights of Klagenfurt. There you go
straight ahead. After about 800 m at the next traffic lights you turn
left towards the direction Wörthersee/Universität/Autobahn Villach to
the so-called "Südring". You go along the Südring, passing the
Wörthersee stadium. About 1 km after the stadium the road makes a big
turn right. Looking ahead then you will see on your right the "Lakeside
Park" and just behind it is the University of Klagenfurt.
There
is a sufficient number of parking lots around the university area (only
with costs).
...by
plane or train:
