Note public transport: The sprint competitions in Zittau are within walking distance from the mass quarters. For the journey to the forest competition in Jonsdorf there is the possibility to arrive with the bus line 15 or the narrow-gauge railroad with a short walk. If the bus transfer is envisaged, we ask for information within the scope of the registration, so that we can react according to demand in consultation with the transport company and, if necessary, arrange additional capacities or an individual transfer.
