Beds at the Gäste-Liesel Hostel (breakfast not inclusive) will be available for students and PhD candidates at special rates supported by Hohenheim Tropics.

Due to relative expensive group offers and the demand for flexibility we decided that travel to Göttingen should be self-organized. We suggest to book “Super Saver Fare” Deutsche Bahn starting from 19 Euro (one way), Bus travels for less than 30 Euro (one way). Or using the “Germany Ticket” to enjoy the country.
