Travelling Tips
We recommend to book a flight to Frankfurt/Main (FRA) as nearly all international airlines provide flights to FRA. From here please use the bullet train (InterCity Express, ICE) which departs from the airport directly. The journey from FRA zu Kassel will take about 90 minutes. Please consider the website of Deutsche Bahn (german train company) for the schedule.
