The Institue of Botany is connected with the town centre and the train station by 2 bus lines (A and H).
To reach the institute from the main train station (Haupbahnhof) go to the third platform (C) from the main entrance and take bus H in the direction of "Allerheiligenhöfe". Get off at the bus stop "Botanikerstrasse" which is located close to the lower entrance of the Botanical Garden.
Busline A from the town centre (Museumstrasse) brings you also to the bus stop "Botanikerstrasse" or 2 stops later at stop "Klausenerstrasse"
to walk downhill to the institute. From stop "Botanikerstrasse" you reach the institute through the Botanical Garden. If the gate is closed go around the garden to the right (eastern) side along a little footpassage connecting Botanikerstrasse with Sternwartestrasse.
To go downtown from the institute you can get both buslines at the stop Botanikerstrasse, but for line A direction "Sanatorium Rum" goes downhill.
