Travelling to Klagenfurt University by Car

There are two main highways in Austria leading to Klagenfurt. The A2 (Südautobahn) and the A10 (Tauernautobahn).
Klagenfurt University can easily be reached by car. (For details see the descriptions given below.)

From the Highway (all directions) to the University

Coming from the West (Salzburg, Villach), you first go until "Klagenfurt West" which is the next crossing after Krumpendorf. Be careful and take at Klagenfurt-West the leftmost lane directly to Klagenfurt Center. At Klagenfurt-Wörthersee (1,5 km after Klagenfurt-West) you leave Highway.
Coming from the North (St. Veit) oder the East (Graz, Vienna), you follow the many tunnels in the north of Klagenfurt westwards. Immediately after the Falkenbergtunnel you take the second exit (about 300 m after the end of the Tunnel, so be alert!) directed to "Klagenfurt West". About 1,5 km after that you leave the Highway at Exit "Klagenfurt-Wörthersee".

After having left the Highway at Klagenfurt-Wörthersee (=Klagenfurt-See in short) you immediately come to the so called "Minimundus-Crossing" (with traffic-lights). You keep straight direction towards south. After 400 m you will see the logo of the University of Klagenfurt. There go westwards into the Universitätsstraße. You have arrived at your destination.

From Slovenia (Via Loiblpass) to the University

Coming down the Loiblpass you go right through Unterloibl, Kirschentheuer, passing the Hollenburg and Maria Rain until you come to the first traffic lights of Klagenfurt. There you go straight ahead. After about 800 m at the next traffic lights you turn left towards the direction Wörthersee/Universität/Autobahn Villach to the so-called "Südring". You go along the Südring, passing the Wörthersee stadium. About 1 km after the stadium the road makes a big turn right. Looking ahead then you will see at the right hnd side the University of Klagenfurt.
