The German airline, Lufthansa, probably offers reasonable prices for both from most parts of the world. There are also direct flights into **Dresden-Klotzsche** from various other European cities and the Mediterranean/North Africa region - see: [www.dresden-airport.de](http://www.dresden-airport.de/en/index.html?newLanguage=en) (*in German, English, Polish and Czech*). **VEBU tries to organise an environmentally friendly congress. So we are cooperating with [www.atmosfair.de](http://www.atmosfair.de/index.php?id=9&L=3) - have a look for details (also in *Deutsch*) and ask if you necessarily have to travel by air - then consider a donation to equalize the CO2 from airplanes.** **However, this is only the second best solution. If possible we will appreciate it if you use public transport where you can.** \- [Press Release: new BA service from Gatwick to Dresden](http://www.dresden-airport.de/en/struktur/presse/pressemitteilungen/pmDetail.html?id=635&newLanguage=en) **To get from the airport in Dresden**, the best way is by the[ S-Bahn (underground railway) ](http://www.dresden-airport.de/en/reisende_und_besucher/an_und_abreise/nahverkehr.html)which is quick and cheap). Representatives from the Congress organisers will be on hand to help as much as possible. From within Europe there are also budget airlines, such as [EasyJet](http://www.easyjet.com/) and [RyanAir](http://www.ryanair.com/), flying to Berlin (from at least 24 European airports) where you can take a 2 hour 11 minute direct train to Dresden. There are also several budget flights to Prague, in the Czech Republic, which is a little closer, and several other German cities with rail links to Dresden. **For trains to Dresden** see [www.bahn.de](http://www.bahn.de/) (*in German, English, French, Italian*) - Railroads: - Daily links with all major German cities - Linked to the ICE high-speed and EC/IC network - International connections with more than 10 major European cities - Two long-distance train stations - Travel time (by fast train) from Hamburg 5 hours, Berlin 3 hours, Frankfurt/Main 4,5 hours, Munchen (Munich) 7 hours **Highways and regional roads:** - Highways (Autobahnen) A4 and A 13 - Regional roads (Bundesstrasen) B6, B97, B170, B172, B173 - Distances from Hamburg 492 km, Berlin 193 km, Frankfurt/Main 485 km, Munchen (Munich) 496 km - For road routed withing Europe (in English) see the RAC Route Planner ![](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/congress/2008/pics/map1.jpg) For more detailed maps see [www.multimap.com](http://www.multimap.com/) - select Germany, then click on the map If you have questions for the Congress organisers, please subscribe to ivu-congress to avoid them having to answer the same questions to everyone individually: Historical form (inactive) **Subscribe to ivu-congress** enter email address | | *email discussion list for anyone considering attending IVU Congresses - everyone welcome! the list is moderated to keep it strictly on-topic and the mail volume is quite low.* [**Back to the 2008 Congress Index**](https://ivu.org/hv-congress-2008-congress-2008-index.html) A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 832 ### Vegan Recipes - #### [Algerian M'hajeb (Traditional Filled Pastry)](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/algerian-mhajeb-traditional-filled-pastry.html "Algerian M'hajeb (Traditional Filled Pastry)") [Algeria](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/algeria.html) [Protein Rich](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/proteiin-rich.html) [Baking](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/baking.html) [Main course](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/main-course-for-lunch-and-dinner.html) [African](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/african.html) -
