By Airplane
to Berlin
The are are two international airports that are about 2h away from the Chaos Communication Camp.
- Tegel (TXL)
- train station "Flughafen Tegel (Berlin)"
- Schönefeld (SXF)
- bus stop "Flughafen Schoenefeld Terminal".
- Tegel (TXL)
From the respective airport you need to take the train/bus to the City, then a train to "Eberswalde" and finally cover the last 10km by taxi or bus. Both airports are equally well connected to the Berlin public transport network. Follow the instructions at #By Public Transport to find the best connection to the camp ground for you.
Quick and dirty details from TXL: At Airport Tegel go to the BVG teller and get a 25-35 km ticket, not Berlin ABC. Go out and get the Bus "TXL", ride till "Berlin Hauptbahnhof" (Central/Main Station). Go inside and find track 5, it's downstairs. Take the Train that goes to "Eberswalde Hbf". There find the "busbahnhof", take the Bus "910" on weekdays or "917" on weekends. Get out at the museum and walk the last 2 km / 1.2 mi . Also do not rely on this quick and dirty information, inform yourself on more trustworthy pages like www.bahn.de . Also, read below on public transportation.
to Finow Airfield
ATTENTION: There's a NOTAM (E1329/2011) regarding the threshold of RWY 10 being deplaced 1040m inward. Also, taxiways A, B, C and E are temporarily closed. Right now, the NOTAM is valid until 31-JUN-2011 23:59. This means that if a followup NOTAM is issued, extending the validity period, you may have to request ground shuttle service from Apron 1 or Apron 2 to the museum gate.
Finow Airfield (ICAO: EDAV) is a regular airfield with OPR hours from 0800 to SS+30. Runway 10/28 is 2520m x 50m concrete, certified for aircraft up to 14 tons MTOM (heavier aircraft PPR). Further information for pilots can be found here
On approach, take extra care to avoid overflight of the villages of Finowfurt, Finow, and the town of Eberswalde.
The Luftfahrtmuseum is located north of the threshold of RWY 10 between taxiways A and B. Request parking on Apron 3 after landing, and ask airfield staff to open the gate to the Luftfahrtmuseum for you.
If you need hangar space near Apron 2, contact jeedi for details.
By Car
Drive in direction Berlin until you reach the autobahn A10 "Berliner Ring" - the autobahn ring around the city. Stay on the A10 until you reach the exit "Dreieck Schwanebeck" at the north-east of the autobahn ring. There follow the signs to "Stettin/Szczecin/Prenzlau/Bernau-Süd" and enter the autobahn A11. Follow the A11 for 30km then take the exit “12-Finowfurt”, turn right to Eberswalde and turn right once more at Hauptstrasse. Follow the signs pointing to “Luftfahrtmuseum” from here.
