How to get to the Hessentag: by bicycle

Cyclists racing in OberurselOne of the most environmentally friendly ways to get to the forthcoming Hessentag in Oberursel is going to be by bicycle, and by doing so cyclists will certainly be doing their bit to make the event “zero carbon”.

To support this effort, there will be a number of bicycle stands around the town with a total capacity of 3,500 bikes!

The main bicycle stands are in the “Obere Zeil” (in the Drei Hasen area), “Nassauer Straße” (near the station), and in Bommersheim near the open air arena – these all have 1,000 spaces each. [Read more…]

Anyone interested in buying the remaining tickets can do so online at the Hessentag ticket shop, or in the Oberursel Rathaus at the Ticket- and Infocentre. For each concert there are usually two prices given, the “Vorverkauf” and the “Abendkasse”. [Read more…]
