Beloved family,

We invite you all to come and share your visions, inspiration, skills and creativity on the first Benelux Rainbow Gathering that will be held in a beautiful little place in the Belgian province of Luxemburg, called la Toup Toup.

Those who were at the last belgian gaterhing will know this place, we were there two years ago too. La Toup Toup is a small field alongside a mountain river, in the middel of a big magical forest, near the village of Oür. After an adventurous scouting trip, the Belgian focalisers ended up in Oür again and found out that the scouts who camped there all summer leave on the 16th of August.

The scouts still clean up till the 20th, but we can start our seedcamp on the 18th and get the gathering going on the thursday the 20th. We will gather till friday the 18th of september and clean up in the weekend afterwards.

bag, extra blankets, (the weather can be wet and
cold so be prepared)

Try to avoid bringing packing material, you
take your own garbage back with you.
Your dog: experience shows us that living together
with a group of people is hard to combine with dogs:
the general hygiene, the open kitchen, children
running around, the spring that need to stay pure …
If you really have to take your dog, don’t let him/her
run around unguided, pick up every shit and burry it
deep enough, don’t let your dog come into the kitchen
or near the spring.

HOW TO GET THERE
The village of Oür is located in the community of
Paliseul, about 15 km from Bouillon in the province of
Luxembourg, in the south of Belgium.
On the E411 in the direction of Luxemburg, take the
exit 24 and then take the direction Maissin. In
Maissin, go to Oür.
In the village of Oür follow the road going north (Rue
de Porcheresse) . Do not go over the bridge crossing
the river but follow straight on (Rue de Lesse). The
road makes a turn to the right, in between some
stables, follow left (do not take the road going
straight on), at the next junction take left road where you
leave the asphalt road. A little further on is the parking
place. Please leave your car there, and follow the signs
through the forest, along the river Oür, untill you get to
La Toup Toup. It takes about half an hour to walk down.
Don’t drive your car down to the camping site, the
road in the forest is pretty bad.

Public transport : the nearest trainstation is
Paliseul, this is about 8 km from Oür, from Oür to the
gathering (La Toup Toup) is another
3 km. There is ?unfortunately- only one bus per week
going from Paliseul to Oür, on thursday at 12h40 (line
6 ). If you can, take your bike on the train, or
hitchhike.

Namasté, namasté, have a good trip and see you at Toup
Toup!
