directing you to the University. After driving on the B 76, you
will end up driving on the
Westring towards the University. Make a right turn into the
Olshausenstr. Soon after, there will be two bridges, first a
pedestrian walk, then some railway tracks. Immediately after the
second bridge, you will find the IPN building on your right-hand

From Hamburg Airport to the Department of Psychology / IPN:

to Kiel. Instead, take the "Kielius"
bus from Hamburg Airport to Kiel Central Station. It leaves about once an
hour (timetable), and the
ride takes about 90 minutes. For directions from Kiel Central Station to
