Rainer,
Any background information yet?
Need to start planning.
Martyn
imagine it will be in this area
Hi Martyn, hi all.
As told last VIM we shall have next VIM in the Palatinate Forest in the area of the town Schönau.
Before I can give more Infos, I have to wait till I have sth written from the Hotel.
I did the verbal discussion yet and it seems to be OK.
But I have to wait till I get a paper from the Hotel.
The time frame is, as said at Douglas, from 17.05.-20.05.2024.
Stewart is helping me for the booking of the attandance fee (and more, where I need some help) and the booking of the accomodation I plan to be done by each participant by his/her own, direct at the Hotel.
Sorry, but this ist at the moment all I can say.
Greetings from the South of Germany
nearby the Palatinate Forest

Edit: 27.08.23
Thanks Rainer. We now have a destination. Can now plan a route.
Everything else can wait.
Many thanks,
Martyn
According to GoogleMaps, there are TWO Schönau near Karlsruhe, one next to the French border, one near Heidelberg.
I assume Rainer is talking about the first one
. Don't let your GPS lead you to the wrong one
(let alone the another one in Bavaria!
)
Greetings,
Josep
I think it will be near the french border
Let it be that "one next to the French border"
Replaced by a zoomed map of Pfälzer Wald
... near the French border ...
(as told in the Palatinate Forest)

2 questions (for Rainer or anyone) for the sake of curiosity
In a trip to the area years ago, I remember there was a castle where Richard the Lionheart of England stayed (as captive?) in his way back to England. What castle was it?
Also I remember a small (Carolingian?) church that was on arches, that is, you could walk undernearth. Where was it?
Greetings,
Josep
Yes, that was the castle.
I found the church! I meant this one, Kloster Lorsch (some 125 km NNE of Schönau according to GMaps)
Greetings
Josep
So whats the story on accomodation, does the hotel have pitches for tents as i may bring mine next year, or can i do as i done last year which was pay and attend the vim but source my accomodation elsewhere.
Yes, camping will be possible at the terrain of the hotel as already informed at:
VIM24 Information => GENERAL INFORMATION & MILESTONES - PUBLIC open
But please wait until mid of august.
Then I shall upload some more information for "Members Only" as you can see in the always prepared VIM-sections at the forum.
