The easiest place to reach from the city center is the exit ''Regensburg-Königswiesen'' (no. 42). You can use it for all directions. Coming from the center take the bus #4 (direction ''Lilienthalstraße'' or ''Universität'') or #10 (direction ''Dechbetten''). Don't take the ones going just to ''Königswiesen''. Information on all buses you will find at the web site of [http://www.rvv.de RVV]. You also can take #1 (direction ''Prüfening'') which runs every 10 minutes on working days. Leave the bus at ''Dechbetten'' (#4 and #10) or at ''Lilienthalstraße'' (#1 and #4). From this stop head to the south crossing under the railways, crossing a junction and you will see the ramp ''Königswiesen''. Always take the ramp east of the motorway for direction north {{north}} and from west of the motorway for (direction {{south}} ''(south)'').

The easiest place to reach from the City center is the exit Regensburg-Königswiesen (no. 42). You can use it for all directions. Coming from the center take the bus no. 4 (direction Lilienthalstraße or Universität) or 10 (direction Dechbetten; don't take the ones going just to Königswiesen). You also can jump no. 1 (direction Prüfening) which runs every 10 minutes on working days. Leave the bus at Dechbetten (no. 4 and 10) or at Lilienthalstraße (no. 1 and 4). From this stop head to the south crossing under the railways, crossing a junction and you will see the entry Königswiesen. Always take the entry east of the highway. Perfect place for the cars to stop but you will need a sign (Nürnberg, München or Passau). If you wanna go to the north (Berlin, Dresden, Praha) look also for cars going to München and get out after 8km on the Raststätte "Pentling" (both directions). There you will find a car in very short time. Notice that there are no more gas stations on A93. So your next stop on your way to Praha is at the border (Waidhaus/Rozvadov).

If you are heading to the east there is an "Autohof" at the exit Regensburg-Ost (no. 101). Not too many cars there and only suitable to travel along A3.
