All roads lead to Rome, but fans of Frank Zappa's music also know how to find their way to Bad Doberan.
When you go to the Zappanale festival, and you come from a bit further away, you don't have much choice. The final part of the trip to Bad Doberan must be made by train or by car.
Whatever you choose, you will enter the town of Bad Doberan with a view on the Alexandrineplatz and the park, and that's where you'll find the Frank Zappa bust. Created by Václav Česák, the bust was unveiled in 2002.
The festival and the camping site are located at the racecourse, a few kilometers are away from the town's center.
By car, it's a five to ten minute drive, but you can also take the Molli, the famous steam train.
Molli operates between Bad Doberan, Heiligendamm and Kühlungsborn over a total distance of 15.4 km with a running time of 40 minutes. It also makes a stop at the race track (the Galopp Rennbahn) and that's where the festival and the camping site are located.
Within Bad Doberan the line runs through the street, and later along a linden tree-lined avenue. It's like a tram, but much loader. Hard to miss.
