4th Comenius Meeting in Poland, regulations:


The Guesthouse (GH) ‘Pod Weską’

Only authorised persons (project participants) are allowed to stay at the GH, there is no possibility to invite any strangers.
The silence of the night starts at 11 p.m.
All the guests are obliged to carry out the GH’s staff instructions, especially to keep the rooms clean.
The guests bear all financial responsibility for damages.
It is forbidden to use the swimming pool under the influence of alcohol.
Smoking only in marked places.

Death Camp Auschwitz-Birkenau

The bus is leaving the GH at the appointed hour: groups that miss the bus, will stay at the GH and will bear the cost of the entrance fee to the museum.
The participants are visiting the camp in guided groups.
Inside the camp you must keep countenance and respect towards the memory of the murdered people.
Do not use expression ‘Polish concentration camp’ – the camp was established and ran by Germans in occupied Poland and people from the whole Europe, especially Polish and Jews, were murdered here.
Time for reflection is planned after the visiting and no entertainment party will be organized that day.

National Park ‘Mount Babia’

The participants will be divided into two groups. Group A will go to the mountain shelter by the easy route, no experience is required. Group B will be formed from the ones of good physical condition and suitable hiking gear.
Crossing time from the Krowiarki Pass to the Markowe Szczawiny Mountain Shelter is: 2h for the Group A and 4h for the Group B.
Both Groups are meeting in the shelter. The return way to the bus will last 2h.
You will be in the National Park which is rich in flora and fauna – rare species of animals (bear, wolf, lynx, yeti) and plants are under strict protection and for your own safety you should obey the rules:
Under no circumstances should you leave the marked path.
No music instruments or equipment is allowed – do not make a noise.
Carry out the leaders instructions at all times.
Because of the unexpected weather changes such as sudden fall down the temperature, strong wind, rainfalls, fog, thunder storms (esp. Group B) you must be well equipped with suitable clothes (e.g. rain coats), comfortable hiking boots, cap, backpack, food, mobile phone (switch it off during the storm), flashlight. The guides are equipped with the first aid sets. Emergency numbers: 112 (international), 985 or +48 601 100 300 (GOPR – Volunteer Mountain Rescue Service).
You must not destroy the flora or taste the fruits – some of them are poisonous.
When passing other tourists on the path say ‘dzień dobry’ (the older ones) or ‘cześć’ (of the same age) – it is very nice and common.
Stream water fits to drink but it has magic attributes: a one who drink water from Szumiący Potok (the Murmuring Stream) will come back to the Mount Babia at least once in his/her life…
