6th International SaarLorLux Postcrossing Meeting - weekend 13th - 15th August, 2021 at Wallendorf-Pont
Dear Postcrossers,
SaarLorLux is a euroregion in the heart of Europe, including Luxembourg, parts of France, Belgium and Germany.
After the first 5 meetings near Trier in 2020 we already tried to meet at Luxembourg-German boarderline. The pandemic situation made it impossible. There is still the hope, that touristic acrivities will be allowed in August 2021 - so that we can hold our meeting this year.
We’ll give you some details about the plan: [WE DON’T KNOW IF WE CAN REALIZE IT IN THIS WAY DUE PANDEMIC RULES]
Accommondation
Do you need an accomondation? We stay at the Luxembourgish village Wallendorf-Pont lies near the boarder to Germany at the rivers Sauer and Our. There is a camping site, so you can bring your own tent or caravan with you. They also rent camping pods and glamping tents. Please book directly at the owner’s homepage (http://www.durivage.lu). Mention, that you’re a part of postcrossing group.
Beside the camping site is Hotel Dimmer, but, if you don’t want to stay at the camping site you’re free to book any hotel, holiday flat, airbnb …
About the program:
Friday is arriving day all afternoon long. Let’s have a coffee or tea together after you arrived
On Saturday we’ll discover Luxembourgish Swiss. Sure, that there are great Geocaches. At the evening after 6 p.m. we’ll have our traditional BBQ.
On Sunday, we start canoeing at the river Sauer until Echternach. At Wallendorf boats can be rent but of course you can use your own, too. The tour ends at Echternach. Those, who don’t want to join canoeing can have a game driving tour by car to Echternach.
If you stay longer, on Sunday evening we’ll make a board game party (e.g. Carcassonne).
As we’re directly at the boarder you can choose to send your cards with German or Luxemburgish Post.
The place and time for signing our postcards isn’t clear yet. It might be in Germany or Luxembourg. During that time we’ll make a raffle, too. Who will organize the raffle this year?
And here are the rules for the raffle (“Wichteln”):
Everybody who brings a little gift will receive another one back. Hence, you don’t have to sign up for the raffle in advance (Even if you forget the raffle, you can get a raffle gift while postcard shopping in Trier and participate in the evening - it happens to at least one person each time ).
There is no budget set for the gift. It shall be a nice and fitting gift for a postcrosser and contain at least two postcards (bear in mind that there are many but not only female postcrossers ). Every participant gives what he or she can and wants to afford.
You can put your gift into a gift bag, wrap it up or decorate it as you like. Please put a sticker or tag with your nickname/stamp onto your gift - we’ll need it to figure out who receives which gift.
On Sunday we have the final brunch at the camping site in Wallendorf-Pont with signing those postcards, we didn’t do before.
Kind regards,
B-Engel & Niklot
