Local Transportation
If you choose to take the train from the airport and need to get from your hotel to the facility, it is most convenient to take a taxi. You can order a taxi by phone, request a taxi at the front desk of your hotel, or just hail a taxi on the street. Available taxis will have a lightd taxi sign on the roof of the vehicle.
Alternatively, you can also use the regional train from Bielefeld main station to Halle/ Künsebeck station.
