Location suggestions for 4-8-12
Somewhere near Berlin, Germany
- After four years of challenging destinations, it'd be nice to try a central, easy and popular place in Europe.

Pros
- A lot of hitchhikers nearby e.g. in France, Netherlands, Poland and - naturally - in Germany could form the basis for a VERY big main event.
- A central location like this would allow the national hitchhiking clubs to cooperate in creating the event.
- Would be easy to get together a team on the ground (5-8 people in Berlin), who would take care of the preparations throughout the whole year, not just a couple of weeks before the event.
- Affordable.
- Possible partner organization: Kulturkosmos, organizer of the Fusion Festival
- (Thilo will approach them once we have a solid proposal)
Cons
- By the time it's August, some HC hitchhikers could potentially be faaar away from Germany already.
- We've had West (Portugal), Central (Paris) and East (Odessa & Kara Dere) - it might be time to move it North! :-)

Pros
- Plentiful space, awesome camping possibilites
- A place that would thrive with hitch-hikers once we promote it a little bit (believes Zenit).
- Accessible - the ferries from Germany to Denmark and from Denmark to Sweden are absolutely hitcheable
- Moose!!
Cons
- Not cheap (but good to Dumpster Dive, better than Bulgaria) - expensive alcohol
- Mosquitoes in the summer time & sometimes changeable weather (but all in all usually nice and predictable along the East coast in the summer).
Valle di Luna, Capo Testa - Santa Teresa Gallura, Sardegna, Italy
An amazing valley between skull rocks on a beautiful beach in Sardegna. There is a permanent, but changing hippie community living in the valley in caves and tents. Maybe we could join for some days. There is enough space. I will upload a photo soon. Links:
