Here you’ll find detailed information.

In the Gastein Valley in August, there is a typical alpine summer weather. When the sun is high summer clothing is appropriate, particularly in the evening and at night the temperature can also be rather low and a jacket and a fleece pullover will not hurt – for some it might need two. Rainproof clothing, including boots or mountain boots is essential: “there is no bad weather only bad equipment.”

Normally the campsite is a meadow. Sanitary facilities, water, electricity … are just installed for the camp. Sensible use of resources in line with our camp motto is necessary.

If you like to spread information material for the camp just download the invitation, flyer or poster. >Download information material

An August 10th, 2014 all guests are heartly welcome. The catering tents offer a range of food and drinks. In addition to that local clubs will offer food and drinks as well and introduce themselve.

There are warm water showers at the campsite and facilities to wash oneself will be established.

We are sorry, but we can’t offer you beer table sets, because they are needed for the programme and gastronomy.

There will be a shop for all with drinks, candy, snacks, etc.. In addition, there are gastro-tents for leaders, staff and RaRo.

The power supply at the camp site is a complicated matter. Therefor electricity is only for programme as well as infrastructure, but cannot be provided for participants. RaRo and CaEx will perhaps have the possibility to charge electric devices by stationary bicycles.

A red cross ambulance and doctors will be at your disposal 24 hours a day.

Please arrive with as few cars as possible; for the sake of our climate. As far as you need to arrive by car, the car can be parked at the “Schlossalmbahn”-Parking.

During arrival and departure it is possible to access the camp site by car for needs of equipment transportation, after consulting the persons in charge of the subcamps. After that the cars can/must be driven to the marked parking area at the “Schlossalmbahn” nearby.

We try to make every area of the Wurzl’14 camp site accessable for handicapped people. If you have special needs do not hesitate to contact us.

There is enough firewood for all of you. The disposal will be at the sub-camps-headquarters.

There will be enough construction wood. If you’d like to build something very special please tell us in advance.

Usually all Austrian cell phone providers can be reached at the camp site depending on the quality of the mobile network and the amount of users. Charging of mobile devices will just be able for leaders an staff.

Glass, biological waste, paper, plastics, metal and other waste MUST be seperated.

Here already the data sheet for waste disposal: Hand-out-Waste-Disposal

The jamboree payments should already be in advance. Please pay individual payments – still open – cash at the camp.

The shop and the gastronomy areas only accept cash money.
