You’ve had enough of the cold weather? You like chocolate? Then our next trip is perfect for you! First we will visit the famous ZOTTER chocolate manufacture. ZOTTER CHOCOLATE is the finest chocolate in Austria and probably a few other countries too. We will take you to the chocolate factory Zotter in Riegersburg, where you will explore the production of chocolate from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate bar. You also get to eat tons of chocolate! Afterwards we will have a relaxing evening in the spa in Loipersdorf.
WHEN: Saturday, January 9th, 2016; 11:45 am, Approximate return: 10 pm
MEETING POINT: Franz Graf Allee (next to the Opera house Graz)
COSTS: 40€ with ESN card/ 50€ without (NOTE: 10€ deposit for the lockers at the spa is already included). There is a possibility to visit the sauna area. Therefore you have to pay 7€ extra at the spa.
SIGN UP: during our office hours, starting from Tue, December 8th 2015 until January 6th 2016 (registration prolonged, deregistration is no longer possible)
Note: Bring your bathing suit or bikini, towels and bathing slippers to the spa. If you want to go to one of the saunas, you must have a big towel with you to sit or lay on it. No body parts like feet are allowed directly on the wood, so the towel should be big enough. Also no swimsuits are allowed in the sauna. There will also be a restaurant at the spa (which you have to pay extra), but we will reach the spa around 4pm, and although we definitely will eat tons of chocolate, you might consider bringing some food for the bus ride.
If you suffer from an allergy, please pay attention to the description directly at the tasting stations in the chocolate factory.
