Directions
The sports center itself has relatively few parking spaces (upper parking lot at Egginger Weg and lower parking lot at ASB). Further parking spaces are available at the Kuhberg school center. Teacher parking spaces may also be used explicitly. If you arrive by public transport, you can take tram line 2 to the final stop “Kuhberg Schulzentrum“. Make sure that the bus loop at Kuhberg is kept clear of parked vehicles!
Sponsors
It is not possible to host the Symphony of Steel without our generous sponsors who volunteer to help us financially to make things happen. Many thanks for the great support! We are particularly pleased that SIGI Forge will once again be exhibiting at the Symphony of Steel.
