+  <h3>How to get there by train</h3>
+  <p>
+    We recommend attendees to use public transportation.  You can take the S5,
+    S7 or S15 trains to get from the Zürich main station to Rapperswil. These
+    trains run regularly in 30 minute intervals.
+  </p>
+  <details>
+    <summary>What train tickets do I need?</summary>
+    <p>
+      If you stay in Zürich city, the easiest option is to get a 24 hour pass
+      for <strong>all zones</strong>. It's good for all public transportation
+      around Zürich, up to Rapperswil. A one-way ticket costs 17.20CHF, the 24
+      hour pass 34.40CHF.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      Please note that the 24 hour pass is literally a 24 hour pass and can
+      be used over multiple days: e.g. if you buy one on the first day of the
+      Hackathon at e.g. 9.00 AM, you can still use it to take the train at
+      8.00 AM the next day. This way, it is possible to buy only two tickets
+      for the three-day conference.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      A lightly cheaper alternative to the 24 hour pass is the
+      <a href="https://www.zvv.ch/zvv/en/travelcards-and-tickets/tickets/9-oclock-daypass.html">9 O&#39;Clock day pass</a>
+      which works more like a regular day pass.  However, this requires you to
+      take the train to Rapperswil after 09:00 AM on weekdays, as described on
+      the website.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      You can buy tickets from the SBB or ZVV vending machines, which have a
+      button to use them in English rather than German on the home screen.
+
+      Alternatively, you can use the
+      <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sbb.ch/en/buying/pages/fahrplan/fahrplan.xhtml">SBB website</a>,
+      <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sbb.ch/en/timetable/mobile-apps/sbb-mobile.html">SBB mobile app</a>
+      on

+      or

+    </p>
+  </details>
+  <h3>How to get there by car</h3>
+  <p>
+    There are some paid public parking lots in walking distance from the
+    campus
+    (<a href="https://www.ost.ch/de/die-ost/campus/campus-rapperswil-jona">see
+    here for a map</a>).  It can be difficult to find a free parking spot
+    in these lots, and you can expect to pay about CHF 20 per day.  We
+    therefore recommend that you come via public transport if possible.

+  <h2 id="accomodation">Accomodation</h2>
+  <h3>Where to stay</h3>
+  <p>
+    The accommodation situation in and around Rapperswil is, unfortunately like
+    every year, tight.  Summer, regardless of the weekend, is a very popular
+    time in the area, with something or the other always going on.
+  </p>
+  <details>
+    <summary>What alternatives are there to Rapperswil?</summary>
+    <p>
+      The nearby city of Zurich has a much larger capacity of hotels and
+      accommodations of varying types. The public transport to Rapperswil is
+      frequent, convenient, and fast. The following stations have direct train
+      connections to Rapperswil every 30 minutes:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>Zurich Hardbrücke</li>
+      <li>Zurich Hauptbahnhof</li>
+      <li>Zurich Stadelhofen</li>
+      <li>Zurich Oerlikon</li>
+      <li>Zurich Altstetten</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+      During previous years, attendees have also shared accomodation (e.g. on
+      <a href="https://airbnb.com">Airbnb</a>).  In order to get in touch with
+      fellow attendees, we recommend using the <code>#accomodation</code> channel
+      in our Discord (which you can join upon registration).
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      If weather allows for it, camping is also a very affordable and beautiful
+      option for the ultimate grassroots ZuriHac festival fans.  Several people
+      have stayed at
+      <a href="https://www.rapperswil-zuerichsee.ch/de/besuchen/unterkunft/camping-im-strandbad-stampf">this campsite</a>
+      since 2017.
