  • Invitation Dresden 2016

    Invitation Dresden 2016

    WELCOME TO THE 18 TH ANNUAL GATHERING OF THE FRIENDS OF SCOUTING IN EUROPE Dresden, Germany - 6 th through 9 th October 2016 . This year, we have been invited to visit a country which does not exist. How so? In spite of the fact that a quarter of a century has passed since the fall of the Berlin wall and the re-unification of Germany, you will still find a lot of cultural and economical differences between the “Old West” and the “Old East”. One remarkable example of this is attributed to Scouting - only some 1.400 scouts are found in the whole of the German state of Sachsen - an area almost half the size of countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, or Denmark - holding a population of roughly 4,250,000. During your four days in this corner of the bygone DDR, you will have an extensive lesson on European history, with a special focus on the occasionally extremely turbulent period taking its beginning during the last days of WWII. All, of course, accompanied by the unbeatable company of other Friends of Scouting. Who can participate? All Friends of Scouting in Europe and their adult family members are welcome, and so are their friends. Availability of accommodation as well as transportation may force organizers to limit the number of participants, therefore be sure to book as early as possible. First come first served. Travel arrangements International flights to Dresden are quite numerous, and also include low-fare operators such as Germanwings (refer to germanwings.com), Air Berlin (refer to airberlin.com) and EasyJet (refer to easyjet.com).To get the best price, it would, however, be advisable too book your flight as early as possible ..

  • JOURNEYS GERMANY the Harz Mountains and Saxony

    JOURNEYS GERMANY the Harz Mountains and Saxony

    The Harz Mountains and Saxony Apart from Berlin, and a couple of train journeys to and from the city I’d never been to the former East Germany. There were some obscure railway lines that I’d like to visit, a quick look at maps and guides suggested the scenery would be worthwhile, and I could add in some opportunities to drink decent beer. Off the bear and I went to explore for ten days in late October 2016, and this is the result. The Harz Mountains The trip starts at Düsseldorf airport, where the weather is miserable and Ted and I begin the journey by heading towards the Harz Mountains. The first train is a packed double-decker Regional Express and I have to stand for the first half-hour. It travels through the endless cities of the Ruhr, Duisburg, Essen, Bochum, and Dortmund, to Hamm. From there, a local Eurobahn train, also full (by this time it is rush hour) takes us to Paderborn, where I’d chosen to break the journey for the night. I didn’t see much of Paderborn – the rain was so heavy there was no option but to take a taxi to the hotel. The Galerie Hotel, in a sixteenth century building opposite a park in the old town, doubles as an art gallery for the works of owner Anne Ewers and was welcoming and comfortable. The rain did not stop pouring down until the morning. Fortunately, a few minutes paddle from the hotel, I found the Paderborner Brauhaus, which was fine for a couple of beers and a wiener schnitzel.
