Hungary/Slovakia/Austria/Czech: Best DZ's for Jumping & Accommodation?

All things going to plan I should be heading thru Hungary/Slovakia/Austria/Czech mid July.

I've gone thru the Dropzone reviews and guides, but some of the websites aren't in english so it makes it tricky.

What ones would people recommend for jumping & accommodation and actually being able to get there from the capitals.

Cheers. :)

Don't know if it is easy to get there, but I would try Klatovy in the Czech Republik. Home of the Pink Skyvan.

Check their schedule first as they travel a lot through Europe.
Have fun,

Hi,

before we moved to Belgium last year, we lived in Vienna and tried some of the alternatives around Vienna:

Czech Republic, Kunovice (@1.5h driving distance from Vienna): OK Boogie: http://www.okboogie.cz/en/ Nice plane, nice people, well organized, bunkhouses at the DZ, cheap.

There are other DZs in the CZ/ SK Republic we heard good things about, but we have never been to them: E.g.: Pribram (close to Prague) or Slavnica (close to Vienna) http://en.skyboogie.sk

In Austria, jumping is more expensive. DZs we have tried an liked: Paraclub (operating from Wr. Neustadt (very close to Vienna), sometimes also from Punitz): http://www.paraclub.at/html/cntKontakt.html

Also nice is Union Linz http://www.unionlinz.com/kontakt/kontakt/

Then, of course, there are always the Pink Skyvans, based in Klatovy (CZ), but travelling all over Europe....

Let me know if you need more info....

Slavnica in Slovakia is a great DZ. Cheap Bunkhouses, free camping, great ticket price, friendly staff....

Been there twice and loved it.

Their main jumpship is L410(turbolet).
They got ballon and glider jumps as an option if you'r interested.

Czech.... Klatovy is a couple of hours bus from Prague and then a short taxi ride... easy enough. I don't know if it still runs but there used to be a boogie in August in Karlovy Vary. Getting around is pretty easy - the bus system is really good.

Don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things!
