I'm torn between worthersee and MIVW in holland, I dont have enough holidays for both.
Have you done either one before?
no but I've spent time in that part of holland before, and its less driving from the uk, although similar cost i guess.
I'll look into it when I get home, work out which i want to do and look at some costs too.
Fair one!
On this post your not (no one is) signing their life away.
You should do what works best for you, as we all will.
You've got the extra fuel costs etc… but when you get up in the morning what would you rather see out of you window, Holland or the Austrian Alps?
Mind you it could be raining in one or other location or both.
'Best laid plans of Mice and Men' and all that!

The week before should be easier to book but it's something that has to be done real soon.
I will be booking for me 3 or 4 star, classic Austrian.
No swimming pool and all that stuff but with a bar!
I'll get a few links together and post them up but remember I've not been they before either and the lake (See) is LARGE!
It would make sense if we all stay in the same town or Village, otherwise some poor sods might have to drive all the way to the other side after dinner for example!!!
That could take an hour (I guess).
I'll ask around and get back to you all with one or two ideas of which places (towns whatever) we could stay in.
Stay tuned.

If you want to go the worlds greatest VW gathering, then go the week before.
If you decide to go the show week then bear in mind that the 'show' is Wednesday and Thursday (religious holiday) and by Friday its a post appocalyptic ghost town.
We always used to stay with family Dermuth in Portschach, they have 3 large hotels in the town with plenty of good parking. We'd then use the speedboat taxis to get us around the lake (if we weren't driving)
More recently we've stayed in Velden, but it can be somewhat more expensive.
The last couple of years at lot of the meets have been gravitating towards Faaker See, which is quite a way out. So much so that last yeat the MIVW guys actually stayed in FaakerSee.
For a day out I would strongly recommend a trip up the Malta Pass.. especially in a group of mk1's You can start with visit to the small Porsche museum in Gmund, then drive up through Malta to the dam and have snowball fights

No problem I've been going since 2001, usually for a week, sometimes 2. I love the place, even without the VWs. I've even considered buying a place out there! Other places to consider visiting are:Yomp said
Some good info there addicted - thanks.
Bled, Slovenia, driving out via the WurzenPass and returning via the Loibltunnel. Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful places and those roads there and back are stunning..
and, of course, the mighty Grossglockner pass… although its often still closed by snow in May..
Next year I may even be in my mk1!

Well I for one am up for 'Portschach'.
Smack bang in the middle and not far from the A2 Sud Autobahn.
I've just had a quick look at booking.com and came up with these Hotels but these are covering what I'm looking for.
Your needs and mine will differ of course.
Look down the left hand side and you should see what my preferences are.

One or two really stand out but I'll look at this in more detail over the next 3 or 4 weeks.
I will go the week before and I'm really looking forward to it now!
Hope a few make it over.
Should point out that I'm going up market from my earlier plans for somewhere to stay and thought S0D the cost, treat myself.
Now to convince the wife!

Your very welcome Graham.
I'm not going for the main event but the week before.
Not into Mk1's converted into rock stage sounds systems and bronzed boys shouting "Hey look at the size of my Auspuff (exhaust).
But we'll all have a good time no matter when we go over that ten day period!

Yeah good plan! The week before for me - there are some great driving roads and places to stay in the Black Forest if anyone else is up for a route via there on the way there or back?
