* water of the lake seemed drinkable (would be cautious tho)
==== KinnarodenCurrent situation:Denmark, Norway and Finland deny entry or require testing AND quarantine. Transit through Denmark (Cape Nordkinn24h) ====is possible. So hitchhiking should work via Ferry and Bridge.Sweden requires a negative test. The locations below are just examples. Due to the right to roam we can be pretty flexible there and choose as well a place further south.
There is a small cabin at Europe's northest point Kinnaroden [https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1doLXXvokOtiMzthVz0SLFjEPmD4&hl=en_US Map of shelters in Norway as mentionned by To.Sweden]

As usual, there will be a Hitchgathering in August this year -- come hitch to a beautiful spot somewhere in Europe to meet a bunch of other funky people to hang out, play music, do workshops, cook on the fire and celebrate the hitchhiking way of life together!
We will probably try to come to some kind of decision by May 1st. After lengthy discussion we might do what we have done in past years, which is to poll during one or two weeks prior to that date.
There is a poll for the location:

Yet as the situation and rules change almost on a weekly basis everything is subject to change.

==== Langenwerder Langenwarder Island on the Dieksee ====
Copperring said:
* on an island in a lake, how cool is that
* swimming definitely possible
* dumpsters about 4km away
===== Cons =====
* no fresh water source on the island (water has boat traffic and is running along several cities, -> polluted)
* no toilet on the island
* no permission; the lake is connected to a river and several other lakes, waterpolice might be active
* boat traffic (boat trips go along north and south of the island), depending on corona rules (risk of being spotted)
* on an island in a lake , actually 120 meters to the closest shore. We must find/build/borrow a canoe or raft so we can arrange transport of food, gear and people.
* not super inclusive for people with disabilities
* [[Hitchhiking_and_Corona#Germany |Corona rules in Germany]] (2.5.21) require testing and its Covid restrictionsquarantine for pretty much everyone entering Germany, might be some trouble to hitchhikecurfews, or enter the country (however to me entering was never a problem when I said I was only in transit)* no permission, what are the risks? Some people call for a stable location for the main gathering since past wild camping and ban gatherings even in pre> 2-covid times caused difficulties of moving on the fly5 ppl

===== Pros =====
* Dumpster diving The right to roam gives us the right to camp in the nature (not necessarily for two weeks at one spot, yet it's possible next town) which is great if we need to be spontaneous and flexible.* Beach close bySweden has never closed it's borders (to EU) in the whole time. * Fresh Sweden never hat a curfew so far* Plenty of space and amazing nature, fresh water availablesources, fireplaces and wilderness huts.* Many suitable places for camping in Sweden have a toilet
===== Cons =====
* Far Only Sweden is open (29.4.) and requires a negative test. (For German residents free, others might need to pay about 20€; giving a local adress might be enough).* As Denmark is pretty much restricted it's important to catch a direct ride to Sweden(transit) if you hh from central EuropeGermany (ferry or bridge).* Pretty isolated
==== Abisko, Sweden ====
There is a free camp site in the National Park as mentioned by To.
===== Pros =====
* Sweden never closed it's border due to COVID-19.Fresh water source* Toilets
* Small dumpster close by and bigger one 40 km from there.
* River, mountain and lake nearby
===== Cons =====
* Also very far Far in the north ==== Kinnaroden, Norway (Cape Nordkinn) ==== There is a small cabin at Europe's northest point Kinnaroden in Norway as mentioned by To. ===== Pros ===== * Dumpster diving possible next town.* Beach close by. * Fresh water available. ===== Cons ===== * Far from central Europe.* Pretty isolated
