How to Get Here

Kamalashila Institute is located in the northern part of the German state Rheinland-Pfalz, in the so-called Vordereifel, at an altitude of around 550 metres. You can get here in the following ways:

Travelling by Car

Langenfeld can easily be reached via a number of motorways and shorter stretches of secondary highways. It’s important to enter the postal code of Langenfeld – 56729 – in your GPS system as there are several places in Germany with the name Langenfeld. Our Langenfeld is located in the county called “Mayen-Koblenz” in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz.

If you are coming from the Bonn/Cologne area and prefer a more romantic route through the Eifel (instead of the hectic motorway), take the direction “Altenahr” at the motorway intersection called “Kreuz Meckenheim”. Stay on the B 257 until you reach Ahrbrück and then turn left there in the direction of Kesseling. Turn right there (and drive through the so-called Herschbachtal) until you reach Kaltenborn. Turn left there in the direction of Jammelshofen and continue driving until you reach the B 412. Turn left on the B 412 and shortly thereafter (approx. 1 km) turn right in the direction Arft/Langenfeld. Drive through the town of Arft until you reach the church in Langenfeld. Turn right at the church into the Kirchstraße. Kamalashila Institute is a short distance from the church on the right-hand side.
