<h3>Sunrise and sunset</h3>
See <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/@7873491">Bad Aussee location</a> for
times of sunrise and sunset in the expo area.
There are over 15 hours of daylight during the expo; though clouds and rain mean that this is effectively much less.

<h4>The Northern Route (From K&ouml;ln)</h4>
<p>The <b>A3</b> autobahn runs from <b>K&ouml;ln</b> all the way to the border with Austria, passing <b>Siegburg</b>, <b>Limburg</b>, <b>Frankfurt</b>, <b>Aschaffenburg</b>, <b>W&uuml;rzburg</b>, <b>N&uuml;rnberg</b>, <b>Regensburg</b>, <b>Deggendorf</b> and <b>Passau</b>. In Austria, the autobahn continues as the Austrian <b>A8</b>. About 20 miles into Austria, turn off to <b>Ried</b>. From this point, the rest of the route is on much smaller roads, a welcome relief after endless motorways, and the scenery starts to become distinctly alpine. Follow the <b>143</b> via <b>Eberschwang</b>, <b>Ampfelwang</b>, <b>V&ouml;cklabruck</b> and <b>Gmunden</b>, where the <b>145</b> is picked up.

From the three-way junction, which is just by the Post Office ("Postampt"), follow the sign to
<b>G&ouml;ssl</b>, passing immediately through a very narrow section of road
with traffic lights to control the flow of traffic. The road crosses a
river, and shortly after swings left and then right, around a blind
corner, before leaving the town. After about 2 miles of pleasant
meandering through woods and meadows, look out for <b>Gasthof
Staud'n'wirt</b> on the left. <b>Base Camp</b> is <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=47.61616&mlon=13.81218#map=19/47.61616/13.81218">in the field on the
