Starting: Friday at 12 a.m.

Where?

Secondary school Pöchlarn, Nibelungenstraße 5, 3380 Pöchlarn

Pöchlarn is located on the south banks of the river Danube in the Mostviertel (part of Lower Austria), about 28 km to the west of St. Pölten. At the jugglers’ disposal will be the school’s pretty large gym and a small gym, adopted as sleeping hall. Furthermore a meadow within the school area (camping, juggling etc.) and a park (“Stadtpark”) directly close-by.

How to get there?

By train:

From e.g. Salzburg, Linz, St. Pölten, Vienna (train station: Westbahnhof) a train takes you directly to Pöchlarn. Outside the train station follow the signs. The train ride will take from Vienna about 1.5, from Salzburg about 2.5 hours. From the train station it’s a 3 minute walk to the school buidling.
Train timetable: http://www.oebb.at/pv/en/Servicebox/Train_schedule/

By car:

Manage to find the motorway Westautobahn (A1) which joins Salzburg and Vienna and follow it westwards from Vienna or eastwards from Salzburg or Linz. Get off at exit 90-Pöchlarn and turn right toward Mankerstraße. At the roundabout, take the second exit (onto Mankerstraße heading to Pöchlarn/Pöchlarn Mitte), turn right at Bahnstraße. Turn left at Nibelungenstraße.

Biking/Unicycling:

You can reach Pöchlarn on the bicycle route Donauradweg (from Passau to Vienna). Leave the bicycle route at Pöchlarn’s skaters’ area, heading to a parking place, from which you can spot a large tower. Now, through the city, passing at the cafe “Jeronimo” and to the end of the shopping street. Turn right at the first possibility and left at the next one. From there you can see the Stadtpark on the left and secondary school building on the right.

By airplane:

Linz (Blue Danube Airport) and especially Vienna (Vienna International Airport) are international flight destinations. There is a bus transfer from airport Linz-Hörsching to the train stations Hörsching and Linz, and several transfer possibilities from the Viennese airport Wien-Schwechat to the train station Westbahnhof in Vienna. From there see above: “By train”.

Housing:

In the school building:

The school’s small gym will be adopted as sleeping room. Bring your own sleeping bag and mat.

Camping:

You may put your tent on a meadow within the school area.
Please, note: The schoolbuilding is closed at night between 1:00 and 7:00 a.m. So, people who stay overnight in a tent, cannot use the toilets etc. during this time, unless jugglers organise a night porter, or an “emergency mobile phone”. (Jugglers who stay in the gym don't have this problem and everybody can leave at any time the building (escape doors!).)
