PS:
More detailed information can be found in the next message.

Information about hotel/accommodation:

For attendants of the Copen-Tour 2009 the following special-rates apply:

Single room with shower/WC/TV/Tel € 50
Double room with shower/WC/TV/Tel € 37 per person

Included in the rates are breakfast-buffet and utilisation of swimming-pool, sauna and gym.

For the special rates to apply, please use the keyword "Copen-Tour" when you make the reservation by yourself.

Currently (end of April 2009) 18 rooms are still availabe in the hotel during the Copen-Tour weekend. Please be aware that these rooms are not anymore pre-booked for attendants of the Copen-Tour and can freely be given away to other partys by the hotel.

Nearby there are also other places/opportunities to stay overnight (e.g. Camping). Please do us the favour and organise it by yourself. If needed we can put up here some more detailed information.


Information about the Copen-Tours on Saturday:

The tours will be "by-guess-and-by-gosh"-tours, i.e. you are given a hand-out with basic information about the route and information about nice places along the route, where you can stop by at your own convenience.
We will not be organising teams, but of course you can team up with other Copens for the day. Therefore it is not going to be a kind of "treasure hunt", comfortable cruising is the motto of the day.

Attached to this post (click me) are the hand-outs as PDFs for the routes and ZIP-files with route-files for navigation systems.
So you can take a look at the routes beforehand and plan your day with stops at sights at your own convenience. You get more information about towns and sights along the route whe clicking on the links in the PDF-documents.
The ZIP-files contain the route description for a number of navigation systems. Please transfer the correct route-file to your navigation system and/or consult the manual of your navigation system for more details.

Warning!
Unfortunately every manufacturer of navigation systems handles the routing between waypoints differently therefore slight difference to the written route description may occur. We recommend to follow the written route description instead of any navigation system.
I tested the routes with a TomTom device.


Information about the joint short trip on Sunday:

Starting at 09:30am we will be driving jointly from the hotel in Eitorf on small roads to the medieval town Stadt Blankenberg ([URL=http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=Stadt+Blankenberg&hl=de&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=50.761402,7.364763&sspn=0.013003,0.033002&ie=UTF8&ll=50.768602,7.368393&spn=0.104008,0.264015&t=h&z=12]Lage in Google Maps[/URL]). The parking lot at the [URL=http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=Stadt+Blankenberg&hl=de&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=50.761402,7.364763&sspn=0.013003,0.033002&ie=UTF8&ll=50.761472,7.364871&spn=0.000813,0.002063&t=h&z=19]Katharinen gate[/URL] will be reserved for us.

In Stadt Blankenberg we booked two guided city-walking-tours starting at around 11:30am. These tours will last about 1 hour.

The inn "Zum alten Turm" will be prepared to welcome you for drinks and/or food. Until 13:00h a room for about 50 persons is reserved for participants of the Copen-tour. After 13:00h seats in that room may be given to other guests.

The contribution towards expenses consists of the fees for the tour-guides and the fee for the reservation of the parking lot. Assuming an adequate number of participants for this sunday trip we expect contribution towards expenses of less than 5€ per participant.

Hi ya,

if you like to meet up with other attendants for the journey to or from the meeting you may take a look at the

map of participants

which shows the home-location of all participants.

Based on the map you can locate participants near your own home-location or near your route to the meeting to contact them directly.


Andreas

Hi ya all,

just got the information from the hotel that all pre-booked rooms are taken.

But the hotel kindly agreed to offer the special-rates still to everyone who uses the keyword "Copen-Tour" with the reservation of a room.

If you did not register with us/book your accommodation yet, you can still do so until the final registration closing date of 18. May 2009.

Currently (end of March 2009) 20 rooms are still availabe in the hotel during the Copen-Tour weekend. Please be aware that these rooms are not anymore pre-booked for attendants of the Copen-Tour and can freely be given away to other partys by the hotel in the meantime.

When comparing our data with the list of reservations with the hotel we noticed a little inconsistency:
According to our data we have 31 stays at the hotel, the hotel reports 27 stays only.
Therefore we kindly ask you to make your reservation with the hotel or in case you did not use the keyword "Copen-Tour" for your reservation, to let the hotel know.

Thanks a lot,

Andreas
