Withincreasing pressures in the form of tourism\, traffic\, urban development\, and climatechange\, this fragile region needs green solutions and plans for a more sustainable andenvironment-friendly future. That’s why we invite you to the Julian Alps in NW Slovenia to feel the sunny side of the Alps and explore how people have been living in this unforgiving environment for centuries and how the sustainable development of mountain areas can provide a greener tomorrow for the region. \n\n\n\nTOPIC\n\nLOCATION\n\nHOW TO GET THERE\n\nPROGRAMME\n\nWORKSHOPS\n\nSCIENTIFIC EXCURSIONS\n\nLEISURE EXCURSIONS\n\nORGATEAM\n\nSPONSORS\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOPIC\n\n\n\nOur congress aims to highlight the Slovene part of the Julian Alps\, which we like to regard as the sunny side of the Alps\, showcasing projects\, ideas and traditions which help build a future\, geared towards a peaceful cohabitation between people\, animals\, plants and heritage of this protected mountainous area. We will focus on both human and natural topics and their interactions while tackling the challenges which this regions is facing. To present solutions and a less bleak picture of the Alps\, it is of vital importance to pinpoint and address these threats and problems\, which include among others climate change\, mass tourism\, increased traffic\, pressures on the region’s fragile water sources\, habitat loss and others. Our hope is that participants will leave the congress with ambitions\, ideas and motivation to take action themselves and ensure a resource and climate-friendly future for all European alpine regions. \n\n\n\nLOCATION\n\n\n\nOur congress will take place in a youth hostel\, a 15 min walk from the alpine town of Kranjska Gora\, famous for its ski resort and an abundance of starting points for mountaineering opportunities in the summertime. It is also one of the destinations awarded theSlovenia Green label. The hostel is located in the heart of the Pišnica valley on the first leg of the Vršič mountain pass\, the highest in Slovenia. Only 500 m from the Jasna lakes and on the doorstep of the Triglav National Park\, it is surrounded by towering mountains exceeding 2000 m such as Špik\, Škrlatica and Prisojnik. It is built in a traditional alpine style with seven shared rooms\, two chilling rooms\, and a large dining hall/party room. The hostel is located right next to the river and includes a bonfire place and a sports playground\, while also being a starting point for many hikes in the surrounding nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHOW TO GET THERE\n\n\n\nLocated deep in the Alps\, Kranjska Gora might not be connected to the rail or highway network\, and travelling to it by public transport might take a bit longer\, but we encourage you to opt for sustainable transport options and enjoy the scenic journey to reach it. After all\, it is impossible to imagine the future of alpine regions without supporting sustainable mobility! For more info and tips on how you can make your journey here as sustainable as possible\, check theSustainable Mobility page of the Slovene Tourism Boardand the Green Slovenia guidelines. \n\n\n\n\nBy bus 🚌 \nSlovenia is well connected to the rest of Europe with long-distance FlixBus lines. The nearest Flixbus station to our accommodation is inBledbut not all Flixbuses stop there\, as it is directly connected to only 16 cities across Europe.Ljubljana Flixbus station\, on the other hand\, is connected to 156 cities\, while just over the border in Austria\,Villach Flixbus stationis connected to 46 cities. Several smaller bus companies also run services especially from the former Yugoslavian countries to Ljubljana\, Kranj\, Bled\, and even Jesenice. You can check all of the international bus connections on theLjubljana bus station International Travel map\, where timetables are also available. \n\n\n\nBuses are probably the most convenient and common mode of transport in the Slovene countryside\, and if you aren’t arriving by car\, bike or on foot\, you will have to take a bus to get to Kranjska Gora after arriving in Slovenia. Beware that paying by card is still usually not possible on buses\, and you might be left to the mercy of the often not very cheerful and English-savvy bus drivers if you try to pay with a 50€ bill. You can check the timetables of regional and local buses and also buy bus tickets on the website of theLjubljana main bus station\, but keep in mind that only direct routes are shown and a ticket bought online must still be printed before the journey to be valid\, a pdf on the phone won’t work (we realise how absurd this is and apologise in the name of our chaotic public transport system). For connections within Gorenjska (such as from Jesenice to Kranjska Gora)\, theArriva websiteoften works best and displays all the available direct buses\, but does not offer online tickets. Here’s how you can reach us after arriving in Slovenia: \n\n\n\n\nvia Ljubljana: there are hourly direct buses to Kranjska Gora from the main bus station in Ljubljana (Ljubljana AP in Slovene\, next to the main railway station) taking around 2 hours. Keep a lookout for buses with “Rateče Planica” displayed on the info board\, since that is the usual final stop for buses heading to Kranjska Gora.\n\n\n\nvia Bled: there are hourly buses between Bled and the Jesenice railway station bus stop (Jesenice ŽP in SLO) on multiple routes. From Jesenice\, you can take a direct bus to Kranjska Gora. Another option is to take the train from Bled Jezero (don’t confuse that with the Lesce-Bled station\, which is located in Lesce 4 km away from Bled) to Jesenice and catch the bus from there (but keep in mind that the Bled railway station is located 2\,3 km away from the Bled bus station\, but the gentle stroll along the lake shore connecting both is very scenic!)\n\n\n\nvia Villach: unfortunately\, you can only catch a bus from Villach to Bled or Ljubljana. The best option would therefore be to take a train to Jesenice and change to a bus there\, or look into ridesharing options.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy train 🚞\nEven though the last train to Kranjska Gora and further towards Planica departed back in 1966\, it is still possible to complete a part of the journey on the same route by taking a train to Jesenice\, which is a 30-minute bus ride away. Most international trains to and from Germany stop in Jesenice\, from where you can catch a direct bus just opposite the train station from the Jesenice ŽP bus station (check the bus section above). \n\n\n\nYou can also reach Jesenice by train from Ljubljana. There are regular departures\, and it is both faster\, cheaper\, and more comfortable than taking the bus. If you want to start your alpine exploration in style\, consider taking theTransalpina trainfrom Sežana on the Karst plateau\, Nova Gorica\, the Soča valley\, or Bohinjska Bistrica to Jesenice. The Transalpina was voted as one of the top 50 most scenic train journeys in the world by Lonely Planet\, with parts of it being placed on the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list\, including the world’s longest stone arch railroad bridge! \n\n\n\nIf you feel adventurous (or have money for a taxi ride)\, you could arrive from the west and get off at Tarvisio Boscoverde station in Italy\, which is served by by several long-distance trains with direct connections to places such as Venice\, Rome\, Cinque Terre\, Trieste\, and many cities in Austria and Germany. You then have four options: you can hike 15 km along the Juliana long-distance hiking trail (which follows the cycling path for the most part on this stage\, so keep that in mind and find alternative hikes such as the Alpe Adria Trail if you’re more into single-trail/off-road hiking)\, cycle the same distance along the former disused railway track on the D-2/Jure Robič Cycling Trail\,hitchhikeor call a taxi to Kranjska Gora. Similar but more hilly and longer adventures await if you decide to end your journey by train in Villach. \n\n\n\nTo search for international train connections\, we suggest you use theDeutsche Bahn websiteor theÖBB Trip Planner. For connections within Slovenia\, you can also use the webpage of theSlovene railways(available only in Slovene for some reason…) or the Grem z vlakom/Go by Train mobile app\, where you can also buy tickets. If you are travelling in a group of 6 or more Egeans\, you can buy the discounted group tickets at the station (50% off if you are all under 26\, 30% if older). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy car 🚗\nPick up Egeans along the way and turn your journey to the EMRC into a scenic Alpine road trip! You can reach Kranjska Gora by car from four sides: from the east via the regional road from Jesenice\, from the north over the Korensko sedlo/Wurzenpass mountain pass from Austria\, from the west over the Adriatic – Black Sea drainage divide from Italy\, or from the south over the Vršič mountain pass\, the highest in Slovenia (but the pass might still be closed due to snow in April; in that case\, you can use the just-as-scenic detour over the Predel pass and via Italy). Another unique adventure if arriving or continuing to the Soča valley is to use themotorailservice between Bohinjska Bistrica and Most na Soči/Nova Gorica and “ride” with your car on one of the most scenic alpine train journeys! \n\n\n\nYou can also use the most popular ridesharing service in Slovenia calledPrevoz.org(site again unfortunately only available in Slovene) or the more Europe-wideBlaBlaCar. \n\n\n\nStay tuned for a ridesharing form\, where you can offer a ride to other Egeans! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy plane 🛬\nAfter the demise of our national carrier Adria Airways\, direct flights toLjubljana Jože Pučnik Airportare now relatively scarce and\, apart from a few low-cost options\, quite costly. If other sustainable transport options don’t work for you and you manage to find a good deal for flights to Ljubljana\, getting to Kranjska Gora won’t be that problematic. There are hourly buses leaving the airport bus station (Brnik/airport Ljubljana on the Arriva website) to Kranj (keep in mind there is a more direct 15-minute route and a “scenic” 30-minute route going through all the villages on the way to Kranj). In Kranj\, change buses at Kranj “main station” (Kranj AP in Slovene\, literally just a bunch of very disorganised bus stops spread around a random street corner\, so check carefully the platform of the bus you are transfering to (buses to Kranjska Gora tend to leave from platform 13 closest to the “main building”)). Check the bus schedule on theArriva webpage. \n\n\n\nInstead of flying directly to Ljubljana\, it might be cheaper and faster to fly to one of our neighbouring airports\, such as Trieste\, Venice (Treviso and Marco Polo)\, Zagreb\, or even Vienna. There are some Flixbus connections from these airports\, however\, a more popular option (but often not cheaper\, especially if you are travelling solo) is to book aGoopti transfer(a company Slovenes founded just to take them to neighbouring airports because Ljubljana airport didn’t have any cheap flights😅). If you choose that option\, write to us at emrc2024.participants@egea.eu\, because we can get you a 10% discount for Goopti. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy bike 🚵\nWanna embrace the green spirit of the EMRC and feel like one of theSlovene cycling superstarswhile battling your way over mountain passes with amazing vistas of the Alps? Then this is the section for you! Cycling has become immensely popular in Slovenia in the past decades and has exploded in the past few years with our success on the competitive level. This also means a constant improvement of cycling infrastructure and the freedom to ride safely and comfortably around the country. \n\n\n\nWe encourage you to complete at least part of your journey by bike. This can mean taking advantage of one of many bike-sharing systems set up around the country (for instance\, the widely popularBicikeLjin Ljubljana\, which costs only 1€ for a weekly subscription\, or the newly established region-wideGorenjska.bike system\, which allows you to start and end your journey in any of the 50 stations distributed around Gorenjska for just 10€ per month). Those who are looking for a more adventurous arrival to the congress\, though\, are more than welcome to take advantage of the manylong-distance biking trailsand thebikes-on-trains initiativeto arrive at the congress in style! Kranjska Gora itself is located on two famous long-distance bikig trails: theD-2/Jure Robič Cycling trailrunning along the former railway from Jesenice all the way to Tarvisio in Italy or the more avanturisticJuliana mountain bike loopcircling the Julian Alps and crossing the Vršič mountain pass\, which reaches an elevation of 1\,611 metres and has 50 numbered hairpin bends like the famous Tour de France climb to Alpe d’Huez. Another exciting option is to cycle theAlpe Adria Cycle Pathfrom Salzburg to Grado on the Adriatic coast\, with a short detour to Kranjska Gora. There are plenty more amazing journeys to be found\, so choose your own adventure and embody the congress theme! \n\n\n\nIf you still don’t think arriving to the EMRC by bike would be the coolest\, then check out these10 reasons why Slovenia is the perfect place for such an adventure! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn foot 🚶🏻‍♀️\nIs there a better way to savour the Alps and travel sustainably than to walk straight to the EMRC? We don’t think so. With over 10 000 km of marked hiking trails\, your options are practically endless\, especially if you combine hiking with other sustainable modes of transport! Here are some of the most well-knownlong-distance hiking trails in Slovenia\, which you can try to incorporate into your journey to or from the EMRC! Kranjska Gora itself lies on many of these\, including theJuliana Trailaround the Julian Alps\, theAlpe Adria Trailconnecting Austria\, Slovenia\, and Italy\, theWalk of Peaceconnecting WW1 sites along the Soča Valley (currently on the Slovene tentative UNESCO list)\, and the Via Alpina Red Trail connecting Monaco and Trieste\, among others. \n\n\n\nFor more inspiration\, check thisofficial hiking trails mapof Slovenia or use theMapy.cz Outdoor map.

This vast protected area\, which spans 840 km²\, is home to more than 2300 inhabitants\, while more than 2 million people visit it yearly. This all means that managing different interests is vital to ensuring a well-preserved nature\, landscape\, and cultural heritage. All of these guidelines\, of course\, also present an obstacle for the development of tourism\, which has become the main source of income for the park’s inhabitants\, while also proving to be a huge incentive\, boosting the area’s economy and changing its social composition. \n\n\n\n\nWolves\, bears\, and capercaillies: Cohabiting with protected animals in the Julian Alps\nWorkshop co-leaders: Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Nature Conservation and Dinaricum society \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Julian Alps are home to more than 7000 animal species\, many of them protected. While the locals have more or less successfully lived side by side with other species for decades\, increasing pressures such as the development of winter tourism\, increased traffic\, and the spread of second homes\, among others\, have all led to a rise in conflicts\, making the question of protected species an important political topic in the region as well. We will focus on two specific challenges in the area: firstly\, the conflict between the expansion of the Kranjska Gora ski resort and the habitats of the capercaillie or wood grouse\, and secondly\, the management of large carnivores\, especially wolves and bears\, and their associated conflicts. \n\n\n\n\nThe blue gold and how to protect it: Alpine water sources and their challenges\nWorkshop co-leaders: Renata Škvarč\, Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Nature Conservation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe area of Triglav National Park\, with up to 3000 mm of annual precipitation and over 250 springs\, presents one of the most water-rich areas of Central Europe and an important reservoir of drinking water for the whole country. While these resources are plentiful\, they aren’t infinite\, as has already been demonstrated in the exceptionally dry year of 2022\, where many springs ran dry and the alpine lakes faced the worst algal blooms to date. That’s why the preservation of these reserves and water-friendly spatial planning are even more important\, while research into the geological\, biological\, and other characteristics of these water sources is a major topic. \n\n\n\n\nMelting glaciers and dying forests: Climate change and its effects in the Julian Alps\nWorkshop co-leaders: Anton Melik Geographical Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimate change will be the defining factor responsible for the rapid change of the fragile mountainous landscape in the coming decades. The tiny Triglav glacier\, the last glacier in the Julian Alps\, has already felt the wrath of it\, its size diminishing from 14 hectares in 1946 to less than a hectare nowadays. Climate change drastically affects the water cycle\, producing more and more green winters while also altering the alpine vegetation. While certain species\, including invasives\, are on the rise\, many habitats\, but especially forests\, are less lucky\, being prone to severe natural disasters and a change in species composition. \n\n\n\n\n\nSCIENTIFIC EXCURSIONS\n\n\n\nUpper Soča Valley excursionMojstrana and Vrata valley excursionPlanica and Zelenci excursion\n\nFollowing the path of tradition down the emerald beauty\n\n\n\nOn this excursion led by Triglav National Park\, we will discover the upper course of the beautiful Soča river with its gorges\, traditional villages\, and mountain vistas\, while also crossing one of the famous alpine passes\, Vršič or Predel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMountaneering history\, glacial valleys\, and waterfalls\n\n\n\nWe’ll firstly discover the alpine village of Mojstrana with its innovative Slovene Mountaineering Museum. Afterwards we will tackle the issue of traffic management in alpine valleys while touring the glacial Vrata valley with the Peričnik waterfall and the largest mountain wall in the Eastern Alps. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe valley of nordic sports and springs\n\n\n\nPlanica has always held a special place in the hearts of Slovenians\, symbolising our love for sport\, mountains\, and outstanding achievements. We will explore this fascinating nordic centre by bike and tackle the challenges and solutions the developers faced when building such infrastructure in the heart of the Alps. We will also stop by the emerald Zelenci springs\, where we will touch up on the issues of climate change and alpine water sources. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEISURE EXCURSIONS\n\n\n\nEasy hikeHard hike\n\nKrnica glacial valley and the Russian chapel\n\n\n\nThe Krnica valley is a typical example of a scenic glacial valley\, cutting 6 km deep into the mountains of Triglav National Park. We will follow the sparkling waters of the Pišnica stream past active pastures to meadows surrounded by two-thousand metre high peaks\, with the 2600 m high Razor being the tallest. We will also stop by the Russian chapel\, a unique cultural monument built in 1916 by surviving Russian prisoners of war to commemorate those who died during the construction of the road across the Vršič pass. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisoki Mavrinc\n\n\n\nIt wouldn’t be an alpine congress without at least one proper alpine hike\, right? Visoki Mavrinc is a 1562 metre high mountain peak with epic views over the Krnica valley and towards the towering mountain peaks all around it\, from Slovenia’s second-highest mountain Škrlatica at 2740 m\, to the Karavanke mountains on the border with Austria and the mystical Prisank with its Heathen Maiden rock formation. The views are well worth the hike\, trust us\, and it’s the perfect location to recreate the Kekec shout since the movies were filmed in the valley below! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nORGATEAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSORS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FUND\n\n\n\nWe encourage you to apply for the Support Fund\, which was set up to help Egeans in need to attend important EGEA events such as congresses and OSMs. \n\n\n\nPlease remember that EGEAns can apply for the Support Fund to help finance attending this event only while registration for this event remains open!!! \n\n\n\nYou can find more info on the Support Fund and how to apply here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n EGEA Alicante\n EGEA Augsburg -

Instead\, it unfolds in a slow gradient\, transitioning from one ecosystem to another\, thus creating nice harmony without hard edges and boundaries. This year’s NBRC topic is Ecotones – the meeting and transition points between ecosystems or cultures. The word itself draws its roots from the ancient Greek words οἶκος for house and τόνος for tension. These ecological crossroads are not only hotspots for biodiversity\, but also epicentres of challenges. From wetlands and estuaries to the dynamic riverbanks and lake shores\, all these ecotones share a common trait – they are both hosts to a multitude of species and show sensitivity to the pressures of climate change\, urbanization\, and expanding agriculture. How can we find ways to preserve and respect these meeting areas? Can we find ways to incorporate this concept not only in ecology\, but also spatial planning\, urban and cultural geography? \n\n\n\nlocation\n\n\n\nThe congress will take place in the so-called “Lithuanian Switzerland”\, Molėtai municipality\, Čiulėnai village\, which is located around an hour’s drive from our capital Vilnius. The area is famous for its abundance of lakes\, dense forests and authentic settlements. Ever dreamed of living next to a lake? Our accommodation is situated right on the Lake Virintai shore! The Labanoras regional park and the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory\, which we hope to visit\, are right around the corner too! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nworkshops\n\n\n\n\nLake Depth Measuring: Introduction to Bathymetry\n\n\nWorkshop leader: dr. Laurynas Jukna \n\n\n\nLake depth measurements are essential for understanding the ecology of lakes: temperature gradients\, light availability and oxygen levels all depend on the lake depth and influence the distribution of various species by creating distinct habitats within lake. This workshop will provide insight about the bathymetry of the Lake Virintai next to our accomodation. We will compare different measuring techniques and already existings dataset\, see how sonar data looks like and learn how to use it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEcotone Effects on Animal Diversity\n\n\nWorkshop leaders: dr. Arūnas Samas & dr. Irena Nedveckytė \n\n\n\nIn this workshop you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to explore the surrounding nature\, get dirty and see species diversity in micro-ecotones yourself! “Ecotone Effects on Animal Diversity” will be led by one and only Dr. Arūnas Samas and Dr. Irena Nedveckytė. They are ecologists and lecturers who have been leading ecology student field practices for many years! Combining the knowledge of trap building methods and the importance of calculations – you will get to know the peculiarities of animal life in ecotones! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGIS for Cities: Landcover Extraction and Analysis for Functional Zone Identification\n\n\nWorkshop Leader Vaiva Venckauskaitė; Co-Leader Martyna Kazlauskaitė \n\n\n\nThis workshop is based on a real experimental project segment at ID Vilnius (leading GIS and spatial planning company in Vilnius) . City planners did not have any tools to check and monitor the city’s development after planning and construction project execution\, as well as the state of already realised sites. The workshop mainly focuses on showing how easily you can utilise code from GitHub for your own geospatial needs and expand your capabilities when GIS desktop applications are just not enough. But do not threat\, you will have to work with QGIS as well and predict functional zones in city blocks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeather Forecast\n\n\nWorkshop leader: Miroslav Hakl (EGEA Praha) \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, led by Miroslav Hakl from EGEA Praha\, you will focus on working with data and learn where to get weather data and how to interpret it correctly. You will also try to collect weather data on the spot and make your own forecast! With focus on your country and the specifics of local weather conditions you can make a forecast for the following days for your hometown and follow up after you return from the congress to see if your forecast was correct. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHealing with Nature: The Concept of Therapeutic Forests\n\n\nWorkshop Leader: Lukas Bevanda (EGEA Vienna) \n\n\n\nDelve deeper into the meaning and importance of natural resources and environments for us humans with Lukas from EGEA Vienna\, who will provide us with an insightful workshop about Therapeutic Forests. In the workshop\, you will learn about topics such as stress\, the nervous system\, physical processes\, sensory overload\, and how places such as Heringsdorf or the Shinrin Yoku concept have a healing effect and help us cope with all of this. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ntrainings & skill sessions\n\n\n\n\nFirst Aid Skill Session\n\n\nLeading: Arne and Chiara (EGEA Marburg) \n\n\n\nOutdoorsy EGEA Marburg members Arne and Chiara will provide first-aid skill session\, reminding us how to be safe in our adventures and what to do in the state of emergencies! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Journey to Self Acceptance & Self Care\n\n\nTrainers: Michel and Sina (EGEA Marburg) \n\n\n\nAs passionate advocates for personal development and well-being\, Michel and Sina from EGEA Marburg\, will guide participants through transformative journey\,  covering key aspects of self-acceptance and self-care\, offering participants practical tools and strategies to navigate their personal journeys. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCultivating Cultural Harmony: Embracing Unity in Diversity\n\n\nTrainer: Dunja Galinec (EGEA Zagreb) \n\n\n\nEGEA is full of different people from diverse cultures\, so in this training\, together with Dunja from EGEA Zagreb\, participants will learn how to practice cultural appreciation\, inclusivity and embrace our differences! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\norgateam URL:https://egea.eu/event/2023/11/03/north-baltic-regional-congress-2024/ CATEGORIES:Official events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://egea.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/nbrc.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Prague:20240406T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Prague:20240406T180000 DTSTAMP:20260405T020112 CREATED:20240401T224142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240402T092701Z UID:16910-1712397600-1712426400@egea.eu SUMMARY:CZECH BEER IN BOHUMIN WITH EGEA KATOWICE DESCRIPTION:Would You like to try Czech beer and integrate with another EGEANs? \n\n\n\nOn Saturday 6.04 it will be a brilliant ocasion in Bohumin (small city near to Ostrava and very close to Polish border).

Get to know EGEA by trainings and presentations\, go on excursions to the Austrian forests and the castle of Forchtenstein\, and of course\, enjoy an amazing evening programme a la EGEA! \n\n\n\nProgramme: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nplease note that for those of you who arrive early on friday we offer a city tour 😉 for those who already arrive on thursday due to cheaper or better connections we can also provide some places and an evening programme\, in that case please CONTACT US FIRST so that we can manage the hosting!!! \n\n\n\nVery nice\, how much? The fee depends on fundraising but in any case it will not more than 60€ \n\n\n\nHow to get there? \n\n\n\nForchtenstein is located about 1 hour from Vienna by car but also by train. For those arriving by car we will offer you a detailed information how to get to the place. For the more eco-friendly amongst you we will offer to go together by train with one of our handsome organisers at 2 different times of the day (leaving at 1pm or 4pm). Otherwise it’s pretty easy as well: Hop on a train from the main station in Vienna which stops at “Wiener Neustadt” and Change there to a regional train to the direction of “Aspang”. After 5 minutes you arrive at “Lanzenkirchen” where we will pick you up 😉 \n\n\n\nLooking forward to introduce you into the loving Family of EGEA!!! \n\n\n\nPS: If we haven’t won you over yet?
