Bus shuttle
All participating companies are connected by a shuttle bus service. Visitors can use the stops set up for the day in front of the participating companies. Neighbouring companies may be approached together.
The bus will run a circular route in Emsdetten from 12.00 to 18.30 so that all passengers always arrive back at their starting point (waiting times of max. 15 minutes).
In addition to the car parks in the city centre, two parking areas will be signposted as P&R areas (egeplast and parking pallet at the railway station), where parking is free of charge and which are also linked to the bus tour.
The programme flyer will include a local map with the locations of the participating companies, bus stops, parking spaces and any other important information.
