Accommodation

For accomodation we recommend Hotel Lednice. We expect participants to book and pay the accomodation by themselves. Please note that the capacity of the hotel is limited (first come, first serve).

Another accomodation possibilies in Lednice are listed on Lednice pages (in Czech only). Even if Lednice is a small town, there are plenty of possibilities within walking distance from the workshop venue.

Registration

Registration is closed.
