TRAVEL AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TRAVEL FOR "ROMANTIC LIED IN GERMANY"
CSU Summer Arts does not provide group flights, arrange travel reservations, or make travel recommendations for "Romantic Lied in Germany." It is up to each participant to make travel arrangements and pay for their own travel.
All participants must arrive in Trossingen by July 25, 2018. The first class meeting will be at the Hochschule für Musik Trossingen on Wednesday, July 25. We suggest you arrive in Trossingen by Tuesday, July 24, to give you one day to get acclimated.
While you will be responsible for making your own travel arrangements, you will need to provide CSU Summer Arts with your travel information.
We recommend flying into Stuttgart, and Summer Arts will provide bus transport to Trossingen at a time when most arrivals can be accommodated. EMAIL JOANNE SHARP FOR SUGGESTED ITINERARIES:

LODGING FOR "ROMANTIC LIED IN GERMANY"
CSU Summer Arts will not make lodging arrangements for participants in Trossingen. Students are responsible for their own housing arrangements and payment.
However, CSU Summer Arts recommends the
KunstWerk B hostel for participants. The KunstWerk B is a beautiful facility about a two-minute walk from the Hochschule and an easy walk to grocery stores and other conveniences. Shared room rates begin at 18 euros (about $23) per night without attached bath and 25 euros (about $31) per night with bath. We suggest booking your lodging beginning July 24, to give you a day to acclimate before the class begins on July 25. *Note that there is no class on August 14; it is simply a "check out and depart" date, so you will not need housing after the night of August 13.
Here are the housing options available for
"Romantic Lied in Germany":
- The KunstWerk B hostel. The KunstWerk B offers a wide variety of accommodations, from single room with private bath to four-person room with shared bath. You must contact them directly to book your reservation: http://www.kunstwerk-b.de/english/
