Project will be realized in green area of Sninské Rybníky (Snina punds) in Snina town neigbourhood. We will be accommodated in hotel DRZ
VIHORLAT situated right in the recreation area of Sninské rybníky. During whole period of project we will be the only people accommodated
there so we will have the whole hotel for us. Behind the hotel there is a playground where which we can use for the outdoor activities.
Participants will stay in 2 and 3 -bed rooms. There is a toilet and shower in every room. We would like to mix the participants in rooms
together but since we don´t know how many girls and boys will be on the project, we will decide about this solution later. The staff of the hotel
is willing to cook us everything we want. Of course we will keep an eye on the needs of people with allergies and vegetarians and so on. You
can find additional information and pictures of the hotel on this link: http://www.jurpak.sk/fotogaleria.html
