How to get there
----------------
Wuerselen is a small city directly adjacent to Aachen
in the outest western part of North-Rhine Westphalia
only a few kilometers away of the border to Belgium
and the Netherlands. It's near the crosspoint of
A4 (Cologne), A44 (Duesseldorf) and A76 (Heerlen)
and E40 (A3 Belgium,Liege,Luik). You drive (1)
from the Autobahnkreuz Aachen via A544 into direction
"Verlautenheide",1st out, at the traffic lights
left direction Wuerselen. Little demons will point the
way from then on. Cross the second traffic lights
(ARAL Tankstelle nearby), next traffic lights left,
"Am Alten Kaninsberg", 1st right is Bert-Brecht-Strasse.
Go ahead until Thomas-Mann-Str., after that the first left.
Voila, House Nr.20.
Coming from The Netherlands (2) pass Heerlen (Limburg) and,
cross the border, take Ausfahrt Wuerselen-Aachen Zentrum
(this is the second 'Uitrit' after the border crossing).
At the end of the Autobahnausfahrt cross the 4 track
road, (watch for little daemon sign), go first left
(at Badminton hall - you will see ETAP Hotel from there),
go ahead, pass two street bumps (30Km/h zone), next left
(called 'Zu den Atzenbenden'), pass another bump, at end
left, up the hill (under Autobahn), on top of the hill
you enter Wuerselen - watch out - 30km/h zone, Radar box,
street down for about 300m then turn right (Bert-Brecht-
Strasse), next right - you are there.
For any Brits do car touring via the ferry from the UK down to
Austria etc:
Standard procedure: off at Calais (from UK), head East for fast
free Autobahns (minimising 130 km/hr French Autoroute with tolls),
through Belgium, straight into Aachen, then head South.
If you arrive at Autobahnkreuz Aachen, follow description at )1.
A Postscript (tm) document describing the location graphically
will be circulated to the list soon.
Accomodation
------------
There is a ETAP Hotel nearby, dual bedroom DM 70,-- (35,-- each)
Private accomodation is being exploited. The attendee with the
farest way of travel is granted a free bed and table in my house.
=========
I will be glad to see you all on Sept. 2nd. If anyone feels that
someone else should be added to the list or if anyone wants to bring
someone else with him, please let me know also.
ALSO, ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE SEND ME A MAIL
