• How to get to the Bildungshaus Mariatrost?
  
  From the Airport:
  The price for a taxi from the Airport to the conference center (Bildungshaus Mariatrost) should be about ATS 280,-
  There are several (bus and train) connections from the Airport to the Central Train Station (Hauptbahnhof). The last bus leaves the Airport at 6:20, the last train leaves at 9:34 in the evening. Click here for Schedules.
  From the Central Train Station:
  Either take at taxi to Bildungshaus Mariatrost (about ATS 140,-) or take tram No. 1 to Mariatrost. The tram stop for No. 1 is not the one immediately in front of the train station. Follow the tram rails until you reach an intersection of two big roads (approx. 2 minutes walk). Look for the tram stop on the opposite side of the street. The last tram departs around 11:15 in the evening. You can get a ticket from the driver (ATS 20,-). Leave the tram at the terminal station Mariatrost.
  From Mariatrost to the Bildungshaus:
  You can see the Baroque-church of Mariatrost on top of a hill from the terminal station of the tram. Walk up the (unforunately very steep) hill until you reach the top. You find the entrance to the Bildungshaus after a  few steps on the right hand side of the road.
  If you come by car:
  Use the maps on our web page to find the Institute of Mathematics in Heinrichstrasse. If you are in Heinrichstrasse, heading east, follow the road for approximately 4 kilometers until you can see the church of Mariatrost straight ahead on top of a hill. Turn right, and drive up the hill until you reach the top. To the right you see the entrance to the Bildungshaus.
