There is a good description of the way to the AEI in this link and you can additionally have a look at the AEI map

If you are staying in Potsdam/Golm you might find a map of Potsdam useful (pdf file) as well as some information on Potsdam
(have a look at the links on the bottom).
 

If you prefer a larger city, this is an interactive map to Berlin and some information on Berlin.

How to get to the institute(s) from Golm train station :



Please read the section "By train" of this link in order to find out how to get from Potsdam train station to Golm.

Make sure you take the
train to Wustermark


Train to Wustermark

Once you've arrived

to Golm train station (third stop from Potsdam train station), you have to get off from the right side of the train (in the direction of motion
of the train). Then you have to cross the tracks and get to the other platform.

To do so, just go to the stairs that lead to the bridge



Usually a lot of people will be doing the same way

Follow them and the
the indication "Max Planck Campus".
Once you're on the other side go up the few steps


The way is indicated with blue signs (starring Reinhard Prix)

that lead you to the beginning of the path to the AEI/Fraunhofer Institute. If you're
lucky some people will be doing the same way and you just have to follow them. Otherwise don't worry because it's rather simple. You can either bear right at the junction


The LEFT one is the official path

or left. The right path is the fastest but has the inconvinient of having to cross a hole at its end.
The left one is the official one.

If you go the right path

Way through a field

you will go a nice path through a field on whose right side you will see a building on construction. At the end of the path you'll see the famous hole


Bottomless pit (starring Badri Krishnan and Stas Babak)

which you'll have to cross (a bit of gymnastics is good!) It's not that dangerous. We just have one casualty every 10 scientists.

If you go the left path

The official asphalted way

then you'll walk an asphalted way which is actually goes around the field

In any case both pathes converge just behind the hole and you have to follow the way



We're closer

until on your left you leave the MPI guest house

MPI Guest House

Just follow straight right and behind the main building you'll see the AEI.

After about 25m to the right  from the "famous hole" you'll see a post to the entrance to the
IAP (Fraunhofer Institute) where the first session takes place on Monday at 9h30
and also many others. We will signpost the way to the room 1.404 of IAP anyway and post a bill
with LISA Astro-GR@AEI. Just follow it.
