Keep right immediately after the exit and follow the signs to "EBS Schloss". There are plenty of parkings spaces available and these are signposted. Car park P1 is directly opposite the campus, car park P2 is behind the railway line. From P2 go under the railway bridge to P1 and from there to the campus.

Keep right and walk along the road next to the railways tracks. After a few minutes you will reach the campus on the left-hand side.
