Arrival and Departure

As of the beginning of February until well after the event, Jarrestraße is a one-way street due to construction works.
As it stands we expect westerly traffic, towards B5/Barmbeker Straße to be diverted via Wiesendamm and Weidestraße.

This also affects buses running towards central station.
The next alternative stop is about 500m further by foot.

This page describes arrival and departure.
Further information on public transit is on it's own page.

You know the drill: avoid using a car. Public transit in Hamburg it not that bad, just give it a shot.
If you arrive by public transit, this is an inspiration for you “last mile”:

Use the Bus 17 (Destinations U/S Barmbek, Karlshöhe or U Berne).
It departs from the Kirchenallee platform near Platform 1/2 on the other side of the road.
Your stop will be “Jarrestraße (Kampnagel)”, which will take about 24 minutes and a single trip fare “AB” of 3,90€.

Use Bus 6 or 17 (Destinations Auf dem Sande or U Feldstraße) from “Semperstraße” stop in Semperstraße.
Expect a single trip fare “AB” of 3,90€ and a 24 minutes ride.

If you arrive by plane (really?), take the S1 to Barmbek Station.
Use the Wiesendamm exit and take the Bus 17 towards “U Feldstraße”.
Your stop will be “Semperstraße” “Jarrestraße (Kampnagel)”, which will take about 25 minutes and a single trip fare “AB” of 3,90€.

Use Bus 17 or 172 (Destinations Lentersweg, U/S Barmbek, Karlshöhe or U Berne) to “U/S Barmbek”.
Change into the S1 train to “Airport/Poppenbüttel”. Make sure to use one of the first three coaches.
Expect a single trip fare “AB” of 3,90€ and a 26 minutes ride.

To spare out planet, we kindly ask you to consider alternatives.
Maybe you can make do with public transit or carpooling?

If you still want to come by car, consider taking more people along or transporting heavy luggage for others.

Please also take easter traffic into consideration, expect traffic jams and high fuel prices.
Generally, city traffic in Hamburg is no fun. Its ranked top 3 worst congestion just after Berlin and Munich.

From the seas

North sea

Enter the Elbe river from the German Bight, keep right of center, depending on draught also off the waterway.
Vessels that are small enough to reach the destination are not exempt from the pilot mandate.

This section of the Elbe river is subject to tide. Keep up to date with the constantly changing conditions here.
Follow the waterway into the harbour: 53.5407, 9.9802

Baltic sea

Enter the Kiel canal from the Kiel Fjord.
The Kiel canal is open to “sport boats” only between sunrise and sunset. Traversal is subject to a fare.
Boats small enough to reach the destination are exempt from the pilot-mandate. However sailing is forbidden.
Also you have to have radar to traverse at night. [https://www.blauwasser.de/reviere/Nord-Ostsee-Kanal|More Information]].

From the Brunsbüttel locks, follow the Elbe to the Hamburg harbour as described above.

Alternatively: Use the Elbe-Lübeck Canal to Lauenburg (Elbe), though numerous locks.
Then follow the elbe downstream to Geesthacht and traverse the locks there.
From here the Elbe river is tidal. Check the tides here.
Continue to Hamburg harbor as described above.

From 53.5407, 9.9802

You can store your Vessel at the City Sport boat marina.
From here we recommend public transit as it is faster and easier.
