    From the main railway station Berne to the "Weissenheim" (15 min)
    Public Transport is the easiest way to get around in Berne. A local bus (Bus / Tram) will get you from the Berne main train station to Weissenheim. Take Bus No 10 direction “Koeniz Schlieren” to the stop “Duebystrasse”. From Duebystrasse walk a few steps back; on your left go through a wooden gate and follow the path along the meadow towards the colorful buildings. ECITE signs will guide you from there on.

    Traveling by car
    We encourage you to travel by public transport because we can not garantee parking on the area and parking on public ground is expensive. If you travel by car: Exit the freeway A12 at exit 12 “Bern-Buempliz”. At the first traffic light turn left towards “Koeniz” and onto "Weissenheimstrasse”. At the second traffic light go straight and stay on “Weissenheimstrasse” till you reach the third traffic light. There turn right into “Koenizstrasse”. This will take you under an overpass. 100meters ahead turn left into “Kirchbergstrasse” (“Kirchbergstrasse” is a residential area – caution children). At the V-section on “Kirchbergstrasse” take the left and after 100m there will be a sign “Weissenheim”. At the sign turn right into the dead end street and park your car along the wall of the right side. The entrance of “Weissenheim” is located at the end of the dead end street.
