* Location: Northern Germany, close to [[Salzwedel]], in the village of [[Riebau]] at [http://ts.blogsport.de/ Traumschule] [[https://goo.gl/maps/wuEpd8ArmRw map]], hosp-ex profiles on [https://www.bewelcome.org/members/Traumschule BW], [https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/traum-schule CS]
* Ownership/Permission: ''We are happy to host a gathering with free contributions again: food, knowledge, money, sleeping bags, what people need. [...] This is an open space and if you like, feel invited! [...] Kardan from Riebau''
* All summer-long project happening meanwhile: 'anti-civilisatory summer camp' with workshops and exchange of information and skills and visions ([http://ts.blogsport.de/summercamp/ program])
* Dogs are expected to be on a leash 24/7 (either physical or mental leash is okay). We are asked not to use electronics on one part of our campground.

==== Shypit, Ukraine (Post gathering, 30-? August)====
* Location: Western [[Ukraine]], Zakarpats'ka oblast, near the village ''Shypit'' (or ''Shipot'', ''Шипот'' in Ukrainian), [[https://goo.gl/maps/o5hywrpQCu72 map]]
* The site has been the location of a well-known hippie-festival for many years
* Accessibility: rather remote, minor mountain roads, far away from bigger cities, ~80km to [[Mukachevo]]
* Infrastructure: a big frame to put a tarp over with benches around a fire pit
* Organizers, supporters available: Adam, [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Hitchgathering/2017&action=edit YOU? ]* [https://www.facebook.com/groups/hitchgathering/permalink/1747360801944145/ Discussion on FB]

==== [http://www.hitchfest.org/ HitchFest], Marco de Canaveses, Portugal (Pregathering, 1-6 August')====
* Location: in [https://goo.gl/maps/VEjrW2BjrNs Marco de Canaveses] ([[Portugal]] – [[Porto|Porto's]] district), on the Montedeiras Park (Parque de Merendas de Montedeiras) at edge of the small Montedeiras mountains
* Some folks got together to organize a [https://www.facebook.com/events/1862297317342987/ hitchhiking festival] this year in portugalPortugal. For logisitcal logistical reasons (municipality) dates had to change to 2-6 August - which is about traditional HG dates. Some folks suggested this could be this year´s HitchGathering, which the organizers would find awesome (people could come earlier and stay longer then the announced HF dates). The other nice possibility is to have the HG afterwards, and HF as a kinda pre-gathering, where we´d promote the HG and lauch launch a hitchhiking caravan to get there. * Concept: Goals and philosophy very close to the HG - a place where hitchhikers can share experiences, skills and inpiration inspiration and have fun together. Main differences are: pre-set program of concerts, presentations, workshops (also room for spontaneity), infrastructure, food and handicraft stalls, costs to be covered. It´s a donation-based event.
* Ownership/Permission: public land, municipality is supportive of the event
* Food: Dumpster diving should be ok in Marco de Canaveses - needs confirmation. The festival wants to support local organic producers and small food projects (from hitchhikers or local projects). The idea is to have both a self organized community kitchen and food stalls.
* You re welcome to join the organizing team, share ideas or help in any way! [email protected]

==Other Proposals===
==== Italy ====
Alessio proposed HG in Valle del Boia park, and was having talks with the parks association for permission.
==== Elsewhere? Propose a place ====
Feel free to suggest other locations for pre/post gatherings around Europe!
Remember to tackle the following questions when you scout for a location:
* Is there space for 20-50 persons?
* Can we acquire drinking water somewhere nearby?
* Are there possibilities to dumpster dive or is food cheap?
* How easy/difficult is it to reach the place?
* How secluded is the place?
* Can we just stay at the place or does it belong to somebody, do we need a permission?
* Can we dig shit pits there?
* Can YOU be there to help organizing in the beginning?
* What else is important? Which things do we need to bring with us?
