From the airport take a taxi to Landungsbruecken at the Hamburg
harbor. There, take the Elbe-City-Jet (a catamaran), which leaves
of

of Hamburg to
Stadersand. From there, a bus will take you directly
to the
Pferdemarkt in the town of Stade. The conference site
is in walking distance (500 meters) from the Pferdemarkt. You can

Route 4: Taxi trip to Stade
If you are in a hurry, a direct trip to Stade with a taxi can be an alternative
for you. The taxi-trip costs about 180 DM and takes between 50 and 60 minutes.
If you are a group of up to 6 persons, you can get a "Grossraumtaxi". As
the price will be split among the passengers, this may be more economic
than the other routes.
If you are interested in this kind of transportation, please let
us know at least 2 weeks in advance, so that we can reserve a car for you,
which will pick you up at the airport.
Route 5: Driving instructions (from Hamburg airport
to Stade)
From the airport take route B433 in northern direction until
you reach crossing road "Ring 3" (brown sign, approx. 2 km). Turn
left and follow "Ring 3" until you reach freeway A7 (blue
signs, approx. 5 km). Take the freeway, direction "Hannover". After passing
the river Elbe tunnel and a total freeway trip of about 20 km leave the
freeway at "Heimfeld". Take road B73 heading west, which will take
you directly to Stade (approx. 35 km). In Stade follow the white signs
to "STADEUM". The hotel "Stader Hof" is immediately adjacent
