(50.631334,15.772247)

49^th year of the international meeting will take place in a small spa town of Jánské Lázně situated on the foot of the mountain Černá hora.

Janské Lázně is a spa town well-known all over the world. It is the only spa resort on the Czech side of the Giant Mountains. Just for comparison, there are 12 spa resorts in the nearby Poland-Lower Silesia. This quiet town with extraordinary history is located at the foot of Černá hora (The Black Mountain) (1299 meters above sea level). The town is connected with the top of this mountain by a cable railway. Due to the newly built cable railways, ski-lifts and cross-country skiing tracks the town has become a top-level sports and recreation centre and a perfect base for trips into the highest Czech mountains, both for skiers in winter and for bicyclists and hikers in summer.

Participants will be accomodated in new hotel Omnia and in several nearby pensions.

Participants can use the facilities of the hotel as well as the chairlift of Černá hora, where you can take trips through the Krkonoše (Giant Mountains), or just admire the panorama of the highest mountains of the Czech Republic as well as the highest mountain Sněžka.

During the meeting will be held traditional sightseeing ride around the surrounding attractions - Rallye Škoda Tour, meeting of representatives of the participating clubs and during the Škoda-day an exhibition of vehicles of participants, meeting with representatives of Škoda-Auto, visiting the mayor of the town and a football match against a local team.

For the participants will be prepared some bus trips. This year's goal will be such as Skoda Auto plant in Kvasiny, Safari in Dvur Kralove, Hospital Kuks, Nachod brewery and more.
