HOW TO GET TO KONSTANZ (excerpted from the Eurocrypt '97 Web Page): From Zurich Airport in Switzerland (at 75 km from Konstanz) it takes approximately 1 hour travelling time. Zurich airport offers international connection flights. There is a train leaving for Konstanz hourly from the Zrich airport. Alternatively, Frankfurt Airport in Germany may be used which has more international connection flights, but you have to add 4 to 5 hours travel time (by train from Frankfurt to Konstanz).
