From the main train station to DAS MINSK

Once you reach the exit, turn left and follow the sidewalk past the tram stops until you reach the traffic light that leads left over the tracks. From here, you can already see DAS MINSK on the hill. Behind the MINSK you can see the the tower of the parliament.

Cross two traffic lights (one for the tram, one for the bus lane) and then go straight to the next traffic light. Cross Heinrich-Mann-Allee, turn right to cross the next (and last) two traffic lights via the main road (Brauhausberg). Once you have crossed the main road (Brauhausberg), turn left and take the next staircase on the right.

You are now in front of the entrance of the swimming pool blu. Turn left and walk straight past the lawn and the fountains.
