In about two weeks is the middle ages fair in Dürnkrut:
I’ve been to that fair (it’s every other year) 3 or 4 times now, and it’s quite nice, if the weather is good.
I’m going to be there on the 25th of August (if the weather allows), most likely dressed accordingly.
It’s a bit of a hike from the trainstation to the area of the fair (1.2km), but the parking spots aren’t much closer anyway, especially if you are sleeping a bit longer.
Anyone else thinking of being there?
That looks cool! I’ll see if Ally’s up for it too.
Josip told us of a similar thing that happens yearly in Croatia
Is there gonna be a Jousting exhibition? If so, I’m there!
Interestingly enough The programm section of the website shows events for Saturday and Sunday both taking place on the 25th…Witchcraft!
(…or typo. But, I’m going with Witchcraft 
)
There will be a bit of jousting, but not much IIRC.
Centerpoint of the program are the plays of the historical battle between Ottokar II of Bohemia and Rudolf I of Habsburg.
The live-music is always nice and the mead is quite worth it’s price.
8€ admittance is a bit steep, but I never regretted it, if the weather held.
Dürnkrut is every other year as they alternate with Jedenspeigen (which is about 5km away).
And yeah. Having both Saturday and Sunday be the 25th is witchcraft.
To clarify: I’ll be there on the Saturday that is the 25th.

Sorry for the bit OT but here is a vid for the sinjska Alka:
Or they’re all scheduled for midnight. 
So, who’s planning to be there?
So, the weather forecast is really fine for tomorrow: cloudy but no rain, a tad on the hot side of warm.
The girlfriend and me will be there for a few hours, probably starting at around 2 pm.
