Two days before the Convention actually starts, there takes place a kind of rally on a selected route that guides the participants through Kärnten and Osttriol into the Val Pusteria to, finally, end at Merano in the evening of Monday 28th of September. On this journey, you don’t just can admire the beauty of the autumn colors but you can make friends with other participants. You can share opinions about the different biological swimming-ponds visited along the route. Various projects in the private and the public sector will be shown to the participants of the rally. The rally is not a compulsory part of the convention and must therefore be booked independently. The organizers provide a traveling-route, along which there are interesting Swimming-pond objects beside recommendations for Hotels. It is thought, that the participants travel with their own or a rented vehicle and form travel-communities; you can meet e.g. at the Munich airport and the Salzburg Airport and travel together to Villach, where other rally-participants wait. From there the tour will start. The payment of the different performances (hotel, bar, restaurants, car rental…) is done on the spot directly by the participants or by dividing expenses. For more informations and enrollment contact Paul Luther. We will provide to send out in due the list of all rally-participants, to make sure, that you can meet and form travel-communities
