By train
The train station in Veržej is going to be brand new by the end of August, they are building it just for us :-) It is located 2 km from the venue. We can come and pick you up if you let us know when you are coming — unless you decide to simply walk to the mansion, which you can actually see from the train station: look for something big and yellow. The pickup can also be arranged if you travel to Murska Sobota — or maybe happen to wake up there by accident :-)
