'''The Place'''
Some years ago, a woman called Lisbeth accidentally bought an entire village in western Denmark. She made it into a country town and announced herself the sheriff. She is the only one living there, but various groups of people show up for visits in the village every summer. We are invited! The danish hitchhikers have been visiting a couple of times, I joined too, once, and we had a really good time. The Sheriff herself believes in letting things run on their own and let the country town townhttps://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/impeachment-123.html be as the people that are inhabiting it at the moment. It is a ghost town playground with lots of room for creativity. Improvements of the place in any sense are welcome. Sheriff Lisbeth was a hitchhiker herself and enjoys both road stories and live music. She has one plea, if we are going to have the hitchgathering in country town; that we don't ask her for permission and directions, but figure it out ourselves - it's the wild west! I told her that's how it always is anyways. It would also be nice, if we can help making the place better when we're there. There is a saloon with a bar and a lot of rooms upstairs. We can use the saloon if it rains and the bar is a great place to hang out. It's also a ghost town bar, so it's just the building, we will have to bring our own beer. Otherwise, there's lots of room for tents and we can make fire pits wherever we want. There's drinking water in the saloon. Dumbsterdiving was good the last time I was around, but 10-20 km away, meaning you would have to hitchhike to get there. Sheriff Lisbeth really hopes that if we come, we can hold a big western party one night.https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/impeachment-123.html

From Bunec Beach (about 20km north of Sarande).
Walk https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/impeachment-123.htmlWalk down to the beach. Walk north along the beach from there. There is are 2 Beach bars. If the bars are closed you have to to cross about 3m through water. After the last bar walk about 5 min fuether. There is a arrow of stones pointing to spot where you can get up to the camping spot. It's a bit of a climb. Up there just follow the path till you see tents.
From Borsh Beach:
* Space for 200. Check. Fullmmoon we were 250+
* Spring is 10 min walking, drinkin water
* No dumpster diving, food is cheap because its Albania. Specially fruits fhttps://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/impeachment-123.htmlruits and veggies. Easy to reach by hh, complicated by bus (strange timeschedules/ not predetermined) Secluded. On an olive tree forest.

"Hey everybody,

property and profits and liability and insurance and most essentially of
all wearing swimming shorts while dipping into the river... the eviction

Since it looks like the main gathering in Denmark is save, I'm gonna propose a little pregathering in Belgium, right next to the German border and only a glimpse away from the Netherlands and Luxembourg! So it's perfectly on the way for travellers coming from the warmer, western parts of Europe!

The venue is an abandoned camping ground with lots of caravans, so it's already a little taste for the empty country town in Denmark! It's also right next to a river and the well known Fenn cycle path.

==Winter/New Year-Gathering - Northern Norway==
 
In what seems to be(comee) a tradition some brave hitchhikers will hitchhike up to the arctic circle to enjoy darkness,
a frozen world and northern lights.
 
The rough plans so far:
 
* Tobi and Paula start hitchhiking on the 20th december from [[Umeå]] via [[Kiruna]] and [[Narvik]] towards [[Lofoten]] / Vesteralen, search for a nice wilderness hut wait for the rest to catch up and then move further north.
*Another team of two will make a stop at [[Country_Town]], Denmark and start from there around the 23rd of December, prob via ferry Hirtshals-Kristiansand.
*One person might start hitchhiking from Copenhagen and wouldn't mind company :-)
 
Suggested activities: building Igloos at the North Cape, watching Northern Lights, finding a nice hut with a sauna, hitchhiking back via St. Petersburg (now visafree?)
