Breakfast
A buffet breakfast will be provided in the morning.
You can also prepare a packed lunch during breakfast.
Registration for the caving trips
The registration process for cave tours will be different this year. However, the new method has not yet been finalized. We will provide details about the new process in August.
The order of registration for the Speleological Days will still play a crucial role in signing up for the cave tours.
Departure to the caves
The correct time of departure will be communicated during your registration for a cave tour.
We meet in the hall on the ground floor for each cave tour. There you can meet up with your tour leader and fellow participants to drive together to the cave.
Cave tour or alternative activity
We are still finalizing the list of caves which can be visited. Therefore, we cannot yet reveal a complete overview but the classic tours of the Caves of Han will likely be part of the program.
The classics from the Caves of Han will probably be included in the progam.
A prehistoric walking tour is organized for non-cavers.
Traders and VVS working groups stands
All kinds of caving equipment and books will be available for purchase in the trader stands.
The VVS working groups will also present their work in this edition. Come and meet the VVS working groups to learn about their activities and show your interest if you would like to contribute.
Reception
During the reception, VVS will offer an aperitif to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
We will then honor some meritorious cavers with a Golden Spelerpes.
The winners of the photo contest will also be announced.
During the reception, VVS board members will be selling raffle tickets for the tombola.
Dinner
After the reception, we sit down to enjoy Jambalaya (a Creole dish similar to paella but with ham and tomatoes and seafood) of a vegetarian alternative.
After dinner, the winning tombola numbers will be announced.
Let's party
We will conclude the evening with a party. You can also enjoy a quiet drink in the hall upstairs.
