After you have crossed the railway tracks on a high bridge (after approximately three kilometers), leave the B486. Keep on following the sign "Flugsicherung/ ATC" and turn right immediately before the beginning of the 30 km/h speed zone into the cul-de-sac of Paul-Ehrlich-Straße, which directly leads to the Air Navigation Services Park.
