Most popular connection:
Train From Frankfurt Airport to Türkismühle, then preordered taxi to Dagstuhl

The most frequently used connection from FRA (Frankfurt International Airport) is probably taking a train from Frankfurt-Flughafen-Regionalbahnhof to Türkismühle trainstation (search for a connection on the DB website), to where one has already preordered a taxi (Taxi Martin offers this for 60 EUR for one person, click "Details on Taxi Martin" below for the rates for groups. Taxi Martin's phone is +49-6871-2284 and e-mail: info@taximartin.de) that will take one to Schloss Dagstuhl. There is no taxi stand in Türkismühle and there is no direct bus connection, so do pre-order a taxi in time!

Note that seminars participants often try to coordinate their travel in order to share taxis, for example using the seminar's wiki page or the seminar mailing list, or any other resource that the organizers might have provided.

Near the little town of Wadern (to your right) you find a small street going up left and showing on a brown signpost »Informatikzentrum« Schloss Dagstuhl;

If you miss this street you come to a T-crossing where you drive left in direction Primstal.

Count 2 hours driving for ~200 kilometers. The highways are nearly empty on sundays, only around Frankfurt there may be some more traffic.
