CANCELLED - New year's: Global edition
2021-12-30 14:00 - 2022-01-02 11:00 (Europe/Prague) | Youthsite Zozimus, Witteweg 30, Bekkevoort, 3460, Belgium
Dear Egeans! We are sorry to inform you that the Egea New Year: Global Edition is cancelled. For a long time we were hopeful that the Covid situation will allow us to organise this event, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. As of now, the number of cases in Belgium are reaching record highs again, and the government has put on restrictions on social life (nightclock on bars, no parties, restrictions on event organisation, …). Therefore, there is little chance that our event would get a green light. Even without the restrictions, we realise that the rising cases would cause problems for many Egeans who travel from far away. The orgateam of EGEA Leuven & co. wishes you best of New Year celebrations no matter where you will be! And no worries, we are thinking already of other reasons to invite you to have a Leuvely time in Belgium in the future 😉 Best wishes, Tibor, Tijs, Ine, Melissa, Chaanah, Rhune, Lovro, Anse, Kyra & Gosia

LOCATION

Traveling information

By train
By trainBelgium has a fairly decent train system with affordable tickets. Your ticket is valid a whole day, so you don’t need to reserve a specific train at a certain hour, and prices stay the same (so no need to reserve a few days ahead).

You can find your connections on the website of NMBS. For international tickets, the website of Deutsche Bahn proves better (cheaper) usually, when coming through Germany. Don’t forget to use the DB-link from EGEA to book, so EGEA gets a commission!

Ticket-wise, for within Belgium, you can buy your ticket on the website, in the app, at the ticket machine or at the counter (but the lines are usually quite long).

There are quite some ticket options:

Youth ticket (-26 year old) – 6,60 euro’s and goes between any 2 stations in Belgiumfrom Zaventem Airport you might need to buy an extra ticket covering the airport feeYouth multi (-26 year old) – 53 euro’s (55 at the machine), is 10 “Youth tickets”, valid for 1 year, can be shared amongst multiple people.from Zaventem Airport you might need to buy an extra ticket covering the airport feeYouth holidays (-26) – 18 euro’s for unlimited travel for 1 week (only available during school holidays, for Christmas this is 25/12-9/01)Standard ticket – price depends on the distance (from Zaventem Airport, this automatically includes the airport fee)Standard multi (+26 year old) – 83 euro’s, 10 single trips between any 2 Belgian train stations, valid for 1 year, can be shared amongst multiple peopleWeekend ticket – price depends on the distance; only valid between friday evening 19.00 and sunday 00:00; about half the price of standard ticketBorder ticket – depends on distance and border station. Available from Aachen, Roosendaal, Lille, Maastricht, Luxemburg, Maubeuge and Aulnoye-Aymeries. Cheaper for -26, but can be cheapest in combination with Youth ticket or Youth multi (starting from the first border station on the Belgian side).Ticket on the train: if you don’t buy your ticket in advance, you can also buy it on the train, but this costs 7 euro on top of the normal price!

By bus
By busThere is a Flixbus stop at the train station in Leuven, but most good connections go to Brussel North or Antwerpen. Don’t forget to use the Flixbus link of EGEA to book, EGEA gets a commission from this! Blablacar also has more and more good bus connections.

For local busses in Flanders, you can check for connections through the website of de De Lijn, or Google Maps shows them pretty decently too actually. The closest bus stop is called Bekkevoort Oude Tiensebaan, and you can get there from Leuven or Diest with line 370.

For tickets, you can use the app, buy them through text message ( text “DL” to 4884), or you can buy it at a newspaper store or De Lijn shop (in bigger stations, like Leuven). You can find the full overview of all available tickets and where to buy them on the website.

Due to COVID, you are not allowed to get in on the front of the bus!

By car
Find the address of the venue above, type it into your GPS, Waze, Google Maps, … and drive safe 😉 There is parking space available at the venue. If you don’t have a car, you can also try to find a ride through Blablacar.

Carpooling is recommended, cause it’s fun and sustainable! 😀 Feel free to use the comment section or Facebook event to look for travel buddies!

By plane
For some of you, a train or bus might not be feasible options, so for this case, Belgium has the airport of Charleroi (also called Brussels South), and the airport of Zaventem (also called Brussels Airport).From the airport of Charleroi you can find shuttle busses to the train station of Charleroi and take a train from there, or shuttle busses to Brussel-Midi train station and continue from there. For more info on the train schedule and tickets, look above.From Zaventem airport, you have a train station directly at your disposal (just follow the arrows in the airport), but you need to buy a train ticket with an additional airport tax. Alternatively, there is also a bus between Zaventem and Leuven, this only costs you a little (regular bus ticket) but takes 2 hours instead of 20 minutes by train.

The location of the accommodation is in Mentaurov village, about 5 km far from Litoměřice on the southern border of the protected area. You can look forward to beautiful nature, which is typical for its volcanic mountains (youngest in Czechia) and the deep valley of Elbe River. There will be also part for lovers of national culture and history during a guided tour in Terezín and Litoměřice.

This traditional meeting is focused especially on Czech and Slovak entities (main languages are Czech and Slovak), but we are also opened to everyone else.

PROGRAMME – EXCURSIONS – TRAVEL INFO – WHAT TO BRING

First day (Friday): We’ll start more cultural and historical way in Litoměřice and Terezín. During the city tour, we’ll visit the historical center of Litoměřice (for example, the baroque cathedral and tower of St. Štěpán). In the afternoon our steps will lead us to Terezín where we will take a guided tour through a less known, but very interesting part of Terezín – The Big Fortress. During this tour, we will be able to hear the history of the town, get basic knowledge about the defensive system of this ingenious fortress, and even check it by ourselves!

Second day (Saturday): We’ll spend this day on a hike to Hradiště hill, which is protected as a natural monument due to the biodiversity of the steppe species. This type of vegetation is also typical for most of the hills in České středohoří. The other amazing views will be waiting for us on Varhošť, neovolcanic hill with a lookout tower on the top.

It is possible that we’ll change the order of excursions according to the weather and stuff.

PROGRAMME – EXCURSIONS – TRAVEL INFO – WHAT TO BRING

By car: It’s super easy for you. Just follow the address of the accommodation below – from Prague is the fastest way to go on the D8 motorway to Lovosice and then across Litoměřice to Mentaurov parking.

By public transport: I think most of you’ll travel from Prague or Prague will be your transfer station. You have to get somehow to station Litoměřice,,aut.nádr. So here are my ideas on how to do that the easiest as you can. It’s up to you if you prefer train or bus transport, but in my opinion, the bus is faster and less risky. And now you’re in Litoměřice! You can go to the accommodation by walk but I think you’ll enjoy enough walking during the next days so it’ll be better to use the bus to Litoměřice,,rozc.Mentaurov. And station Litoměřice,,rozc.Mentaurov is only about 15 min of walk from the accommodation.

Address of accommodation:
Mentaurov
Mlýnská 225/2
412 01 Litoměřice – Pokratice

We’ll be waiting for you on this address from 15.00 (as it is said in the programme).
