Sachsenring Track Map
Getting to Sachsenring
The Sachsenring is situated in the southeastern part of Germany, not far from the Czech border.
It is located close to major cities like Leipzig (82km away) and Dresden (90km away), but the closest city os.
✈️ Travelling by plane to the Sachsenring
The nearest airport to the Sachsenring is Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ), located around 100km from the circuit. While it offers a reasonable selection of European connections, long-haul and wider international options can be limited.
As a result, many MotoGP fans choose to fly into Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) or Frankfurt Airport (FRA). From both airports, you can continue your journey to the circuit by train or rental car.
- Leipzig/Halle → Sachsenring: ~1–1.5 hours
- Berlin → Sachsenring: ~2.5–3 hours

All three airports are well connected and offer reliable onward travel options.

Regional buses operate around the Sachsenring area, connecting nearby towns such as Chemnitz, Zwickau and Hohenstein-Ernstthal.

This shuttle service operates from Friday to Sunday during the MotoGP Germany event at the Sachsenring, primarily running from the free parking area P12 in Gersdorf (approx. 5 km away) directly to the circuit. Services start around 05:00, providing regular, convenient transport to the Goldbachstraße area near the entrance.
