Follow the "Geschäftsstelle" sign which will take you to the administration office, a squat white building on the left hand side.

Stay right and follow the signs to Flingern / Lierenfeld. You will find yourself on Reisholzer Strasse which then becomes Erkrather Strasse. Turn right onto the B 8 which is locally known as Kettwiger Strasse. This becomes Dorotheenstrasse. At the large crossroads, turn right into Grafenberger Allee. Follow the Rennbahn-Grafenberg signs.
