Dear Sisters and Brothers Welcome Home!

This summer's European Gathering takes place in the Carpathian Mountains, in Ukraine, near the border of Romania, Czech
Republic, Hungaria, and Poland, about 100 km. from Uzhgorod and L'viv. This is the southwestern
part of Ukraine, in the Carpatian Mountains
(Zakarpatya). The gathering area is near Lyuta: a village of 8,8 km from house n* 1 to house n* 1047! After arriving at one of the Parking Places
and leaving there your car: follow the signs, which will lead to the seed camp and main area location: at or near a mountain of 1479 metres. More details: see the invitation below.
This leaflet “Welcome Home” has become possible thanks to the intense effort and collaboration of Zhukh and Tiery, two of the focalisers who have
been working very hard for this summer's European Gathering. This is the last update before the start of this summer's European Gathering. There
won't be any new update after this one.
I hope this leaflet will help you to find a safe way Home. However, I do not accept any liability because of possible mistakes in this document.
Respectfully Yours,

Dear Brothers and Sisters!
We are happy to invite you to the European Rainbow Gathering that will take place in the Ukrainian Carpathians on July 22 August 20, with the Full Moon celebration on the night of August 5th to 6th.
Seed Camp is going on right now. Come now to celebrate together the happiness of common labor for the benefit of the whole Rainbow Family.
This year we gather in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine (Zakarpatye), about 100 km away from Uzhgorod (УЖГОРОД), the capital of Transcarpathia, and 200 km from L'viv, a well known old city in Western Ukraine. The area is close to the borders of Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Poland. In Ukrainian, Lviv is: ЛЬВIВ/ L'viv. Russian: Львов/ L'vov,. Polish: Lwów. Latin: Leopolis,. German Lemberg. Uzhgorod in Latin characters is also being written like this: Uzhhorod. Ukrainian and Russian: Ужгород (Uzhgorod, Uzhhorod). In Rusyn, a local language: Уґоград, Ужгород or Унґвар; Hungarian: Ungvár; Slovak and Czech: Užhorod; Polish: Użgorod; German: Ungwar, Ungarisch Burg; Yiddish:
אונגװיר , translit. Ungver or Ingver, Romanian: Ujgorod. (Information from Wikipedia.)
The place of the Gathering is called “Vodiany”, which means “Waters” in local language. And this is true as the seedcampers have been experiencing heavy rains with thunderstorms early July. Be prepared for the “Carpathian” weather – hot sun can be changed by a cloudy sky within a couple minutes, and the rain starts at once. Nights can also be cold, as the altitude of the place is about 800 meters. On the other hand, the name “Vodiany” has another meaning – there are plenty of streams, springs and rivers on and around the field, so there will be no thirsty people among us.
A village close to Vodiany is Lyuta. Information from Wikipedia: Lyuta is also written like this: Ljuta. The Ukrainian and Rusyn name is: Лютаthe Hungarian name is: Havasköz. Lyuata is a small village located in the Velikyo Bereznyo Region of Zakarpattia Oblast of Ukraine. Lyuta lies at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, about 40km northeast of Uzhhorod and 583 km WestSouthWest of Kiev. It is on the bank of the Lyutanka River. The name of the village means snowyside/snowycorner because of the cold winters in the area. Its history dates back to 1599. The estimated population is under 4000 people.
