The location in Emmen can be reached easily by railway, by car and by bus. A walk from the station to the Stenden University (Hogeschool) will take about 20 minutes. By railway: From all directions: go to Zwolle first. Then change to the train to Emmen. Follow instructions By bus. By bus: Take bus line 2 from the Emmen railway station to Stenden University (Hogeschool). The bus will stop at the van Schaikweg, close to the entrance of the Stenden University (Hogeschool).. By car: Coming from western and southern parts of Holland follow A28 from Zwolle in the direction to Groningen. Near Hoogeveen change direction to destination Meppen (D) by A37. Near Emmen (knooppunt Holsloot) keep on following A37 to Meppen (D) - Klazienaveen!! Don t follow the direction Emmen by N34!!

2 Attention: N376 is completely closed until may 2011 for all traffic due to the building of a new railway station! Leave A37 at exit 6 Klazienaveen/Nieuw- Dordrecht, go left at the roundabout and follow N862 to Emmen. (*)While entering Emmen the name of the street you follow is Dordsestraat. Near the first traffic lights in Emmen turn to the right (Boermarkeweg) and at the second traffic lights again turn to the right (van Schaikweg). After about 150 m. you see the (parking) entrance of the Stenden University (Hogeschool). (indicated with A in red balloon on the map below).

3 From Germany Coming from southern Germany take A31 from Bottrop to Emden, leave A31 near Meppen and follow the direction to Emmen (NL) by E233/N402. (now all high-way).

Although your GPS system will offer you a better advice, it is for your own risk to follow that. In October there will be some deviations in and around Emmen! The easiest and fastest way is to follow A37.

8 For bus information look at Places to come together: When the weather is OK it is possible to sit outside in the centre of Emmen. Hotel Boerland is situated in the centre, but there is no place for many people. Next to the hotel is De Brasserie and De Zwetser with place to talk and sit together. Look at and In our opinion Hotel Eden is the best place for a big group of puzzle collectors and speedcubers. It is close to the Stenden University and has enough place for a lot of people. And a lot of free parking place too!
