A565 -> A61 direction Koblenz
Leave Highway at Exit Mendig (AS # 34)
continue on B262 Direction Mayen (A48 might be marked by signs)
near Mayen enter A48 direction Trier
at Autobahndreieck "Vulkaneifel" continue on A1 in direction Trier
Leave at the next exit Mehren (AS # 121)
Drive in direction Mehren
in Mehren turn left on K16 in direction Schalkenmehren / Maare
pass through Schalkenmehren until you reach road K15, turn left direction Brockscheid
HoLi Observatory ist on the left on top of the mountain

All other directions:

Highway A61/A48 to exit Mehren (AS # 121)
then its the same as above
