HOW TO GET TO DESY:
-------------------
If you want to find your way from the airport
(or from Hamburg main railway station etc)
to DESY with the Hamburg public transport
there is a nice online website:
http://www.geofox.de/jsf/home.seam?language=en
you can type in as destintation DESY and then it will produce
a personal schedule.
I have tried to store an example at:
http://www.geofox.de/jsf/showSearchResult.seam?LANGUAGE=en_GB&language=en_GB&cid=2290
Usually from most destinations you have to buy a single fare
ticket for the so called 'Hamburg Grossbereich', which costs
3,10 Euro. They can be purchased at the automats in the
train stations. They are valid for 2 hours.
If you are in a group up to 5 persons you can buy a group ticket.
You can find more information at http://www.hvv.de/en/
We will provide some further information on public transport in Hamburg in our
welcome session 21th july 10h15.

YOUR FIRST ARRIVAL AT DESY:
---------------------------
You can arrive at DESY (and enter/exit the site) any time during day or night.
Access to the hostel rooms is provided with a key card which is
obtained at the Hostel Office during opening hours. Outside
opening hours and on holidays key cards can be collected or
returned at the main gate (Notkestrasse).
In any case it is  best if upon arrival you simply speak to the friendly gate
keepers and they will guide you to or provide you with the key card.
