 Topic: Hombroich Island - DM opportunity - August 13?Posted: 29 July 2023 at 22:54 |

Between August 11 and August 14 I will be staying in the Duesseldorf region. My plan is to visit the "Insel Hombroich" (Hombroich Island) in Neuss (adjacent to Duesseldorf). Hombroich is a park landscape with a number of pavilions to exhibit art. The website provides some information on this unique location (which also includes a former rocket artillery station).
Neuss is not far away from the border of both, the Netherlands and Belgium. I would be happy if DYXUM members want to join me there (or at any other point in the region). |

Hi Harald, that seems like a splendid idea!
I could come to Hombroich on sunday the 13th (preferred) or saturday the 12th (less preferred but possible). Monday the 14th is also possible but then there's much less things open if you look at the website. Friday the 11th is not possible for me to come. Insel Hombroich is on my "to do" list already for a long time. Let's see if there are any other people interested to join and then fix a day for a Dyxum (mini)meeting over there. |

That'd be great, Pieter! Sunday would be ok for me. So what's needed is good weather and, maybe, some more DYXUMers on that trip.
Maybe another look at this location can help! |

Let's pencil in sunday then, we can still change to saturday in case weather and/or other potential participants make that a better day.
I also see some good opportunities there to use the "non-Sony" system we both use

I've now put the date in the thread title, hopefully that will attract some others who would like to join us at this special place full of photographic opportunities.
Weather forecast for that weekend looks excellent, starting mid-next week it seems all the rain that is falling all over NWE at the moment will stop and normal summer weather returns: Buienradar |

I would like to join you guys on this trip to a magic Isle! Has some things in common with Verbeke. Plenty of photo opps, too many for one day. That rocket place looks very exciting, to me. Are you in for some car sharing, Pieter?🙂

Very good Leo, and car sharing/pooling makes a lot of sense. If I look at Google maps your shortest route passes very close to where I live so I'm sure we can work something out.

I am nearby that day, but as part of my holiday, so I am not sure if I can sneak out for this

I would have loved to join, but my holiday destination is too far away from Neuss.

From the visitor guide:
Please do not bring: Play and sports equipment Musical Instruments Food and picnic accessories Large bags, backpacks etc. Selfie-Sticks, tripods Walking sticks I read that "One bag each from small to normal sizes are allowed" No backpacks, quite restrictive for gearheads. How to deal with that? |
