Your journey to the Eifel
Directions to the Forest Academy
Arriving from the north
Cologne | Düsseldorf | A1
Follow the A1 motorway to the end (Blankenheim junction). Stay left at the end of the motorway and follow the lane to the intersection. Turn left onto the L115 and follow this road towards Lommersdorf for about 5 kilometers. Turn left onto the K9 (later the L74) towards Ohlenhard/Wershofen and follow this road for about 6 kilometers. Directly at the entrance to Wershofen, in front of the large linden tree, turn left onto Nordstraße and follow this road for about one kilometer. You will then see the Waldakademie flags flying on our office building on the right-hand side of the road. Behind the office building, turn right again onto Weiherstraße. There you will see our seminar center and Haus Blattwerk.
Arrival from the south and east
Frankfurt | Koblenz | A61
Follow the A61 motorway to the Wehr junction (33) and then follow the B412 federal highway for approximately 23 km towards the Nürburgring. Turn right onto the B258 federal highway towards Nürburgring / Blankenheim and follow this for approximately 17 km to the town of Müsch. There, turn right onto the L73 towards Schuld and follow the L73 for approximately 8 kilometers to the L73 / L74 intersection (approximately 1 km after the town of Fuchshofen). Here, turn left onto the L74 and follow this for approximately 4.5 km until you reach the town of Wershofen. Enter the town and at the first left turn, go straight onto Nordstraße, which you follow for 300 meters. Then turn left onto Weiherstraße. There you will already see our flags flying.
Arriving by bike
Those who prefer a more sporty approach can, of course, also cycle to Wershofen. Bicycle racks are available.
By bike e.g. from Bad Münstereifel, Euskirchen or Ahrbrück
The cycling routes in the area, especially along the Ahr Cycle Path (to Schuld), are definitely worth it. Depending on your starting point, it might also be a good idea to take the train to nearby stations before hopping on the bike. Please check the current road conditions in advance due to flood damage.
By bike from Cologne
Yes, even this – admittedly challenging – route is definitely worth it. Our supporters from SAUBER ENERGIE recently set off to visit us by bike in a "Tour d'Eifel" – read about it here !
Depending on your pace and breaks, the route can take between 4-6 hours. Plan enough time for rest breaks and exploration to fully enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.
Arriving by electric car
We've installed four public charging points for electric cars since March 2023. So if you're traveling by electric car, you can charge with us at up to 22 kW .
Arriving by public transport
The best way to travel to Bad Münstereifel is by train (or rail replacement service). From there, it's best to arrange a taxi. The journey takes approximately 20 minutes.
