Scandinavia
* on an island in a lake, how cool is that
* water of the lake seemed drinkable (would be cautious tho)
* 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
=== Poland ===
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.

===== Pros =====
* 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) which is great if we need to be spontaneous and flexible.
* Sweden has never closed it's borders (to EU) in the whole time.
* Sweden never hat a curfew so far
* Plenty of space and amazing nature, fresh water sources, fireplaces and wilderness huts.
* Many suitable places for camping in Sweden have a toilet
===== Cons =====
* Only Sweden is open (29.4.) and requires a negative test. (For german citizens 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 Germany (ferry or bridge).
