Arriving by car

• Driving directions to the BfS measuring station

  From central Freiburg, the route to the Schauinsland via the Günterstal district is well signposted.
  At the first car park on the L 124 on the Schauinsland (i.e. the car park of the summit station of the Schauinsland cable car), you will find the “Schauinslandweg”, a path that leads north to the measuring station 1.5 km away. However, this path is closed to general traffic and occasionally impassible due to a barrier.

Arriving by train

• Freiburg central station – BfS measuring station

  From Freiburg central station, take tram line 2 towards Günterstal.
  At the Dorfstraße tram stop in Günterstal, change onto bus 21 towards Horben. Get off at the valley station of the Schauinsland cable car (“Schauinslandbahn-Talstation”) and take the cable car up to the summit station on the Schauinsland. From there, a 100 m access road leads down to a car park.
  At the car park, an asphalt path towards “Rappenecker Hütte” leads you to the measuring station 1.5 km away (walking distance: approx. 30 minutes). After you pass the air measuring station of the German Environment Agency (UBA), turn left to find the BfS measuring station, which is a long, timber-clad building with a large measurement area behind it and a flat-roofed extension with vertical slats.
