Farewell party at Jarunsko jezero

On Friday from 18:00 (but feel free to come earlier), we will be meeting up for a farewell party at Jarunsko jezero, the lake near the dorms.

There are plenty of bars that allow you to take drinks to the beach (which is rocky, so it is advised to bring good footwear for water if you want to swim!), as well as a pizza place nearby.

–on behalf of Matěj.

Check-out of dorms

To check-out, please bring your keys to the tourist office in pavilion 12 or, if unattended, to the reception in building 10.

If you leave on Friday evening, please make sure to check-out on Friday morning or latest by lunch. You can leave your luggage in room A105 or A107 upstairs (they won’t be locked, though, so make sure to carry your valuables on you).

If you leave on Saturday very early in the morning: We were told that there should be someone at one of those desks.

How to leave the room: Please take off the bedsheets and put them and the towels together on a pile. Make sure that the fridge is empty and don’t leave a huge mess 🙂

If you plan to leave after Saturday, please contact us directly (on whatsapp of via email), because we have to provide a list of names and departure dates to the dorm people.
