The venue
EVC vcrna is an ecological centre for leisure time, environmental activities and education, located in the protected area of the Moravian Karst. The centre is about 4 km far from Adamov, 20 km from Brno (second biggest city in Czech Republic). The activities will all take place in the centre, plus a couple of trips to Brno. The participants are free to visit the area around in their free time, anyway they'll have to manage on their own how to move from and back to vcrna. The local transport is very punctual but not so frequent. Please do not expect city night life, clubs and so on, even if we can plan together our fun and some trip! Rather you'll have the chance to relax and enjoy a beautiful natural landscape, and in the evening the pub will be open, according to the needs of the group and of the people working here. The place is absolutely safe, just some mosquitos and bugs could be a bit annoying, so bring along spray and disinfectant if you need. No dangerous wild animals live in the area. EVC vcrna has all kind of facilities; anyway we try to have an eco-friendly behavior, so everyone is invited to lend a hand, saving water and electricity, separating wastes, keeping the area clean and whatever you think is good for the environment.

Accommodation, food
The participants will be accommodated in 9 different rooms. Apart from gender separation, ideally the groups will be mixed in the rooms. There are separate toilets and showers, plus blankets are provided. Please bring towels, slippers and comfortable clothing and footwear for outdoor. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served in the same place (the venue has a pub/restaurant annexed). Thanks to EVS volunteer working here, we'll offer special international food on some days, for the rest you'll taste the original Czech cuisine.

Money
We strongly recommend to change a few money for your needs at one of the many exchange offices in or out of the train station Brno Hlavn Ndra. The exchange rate is around 25.5 czk = 1 and in these places you'll pay no

commission (if you are flying to Prague, remember that is much easier there to receive bad surprises when changing money, so is better to do it in Brno). In Adamov you'll find a supermarket, tobacco shop, bar and wine shop and more or less everything you need. The supermarket accepts euros, but is much better to have local currency for any necessity. On transports and other shops they only accept Czech currency. You will have your travel and visa cost reimbursement on the spot. Please, keep all your tickets with you (bus, tram, train, boarding pass, etc.) For reimbursement of your travel back, please, send tickets to us as soon as possible to this address:

EVC Svycarna Josefov, 459 679 04 Adamov Czech Republic
