Getting around Erfurt

Morgantown, WV -- In about two months, we'll all be making our arrival in Erfurt, our home for Summer 2018. As a way to help folks get acclimated to their new hometown, we've been preparing this map of places that former and current SPICErs tend to frequent. The map also includes places that will be critical to SPICE 2018, as well as a few spots that you might just enjoy checking out. Enjoy, and please email Nick Bowman (Nicholas.Bowman@mail.wvu.edu) if you have any questions ... or if you'd like to help curate the map! NOTE: Keep an eye on this map, because we'll be continuing to update this map throughout the summer!
