Cottbus

The motorway 15 passes in the south, going from Forst at the polish border to meet the the A 13 at Dreieck Kleskow.

North, north west (Berlin)

Stand at the western entry to the motorway that passes south of Cottbus. You get there with Thiemstraße, the big road that goes south from central station (you can take tram #1 to its final station Schleife Thiemstraße). At the tram station Schleife Thiemstraße take the Saarbrücker Straße to the right, that leads you to the motorway entrance after leaving the town. Most traffic to Berlin is going through here and over the Dreieck. Also if you want to get more west in the northern part of Germany you may want to take this way and try your luck getting around the big city at the service station on the way to Berlin and try to get on the A 3 that runs west a little south of Berlin.

South, West

Same as above but don't take the motorway. Instead stay on the road that goes on past the motorway to the direction of Drebkau. The traffic that goes to the A 33 south towards Dresden takes that way through Drebkau and Neupetersdorf and joins the A 33 at entrance Großräschen.

East (Forst, Poland)

Follow the Dresdener Straße out of the city center that leads you straight to the motorway entrance Cottbus Ost (Cottbus East). You may take tram #4 to the final station Sachsendorf where the motorway entrance is very near. There you get most traffic that goes eastwards to Forst and there over the border to Poland.
