Travel Info
By plane
Easy to reach by low-cost flights.
Closest airport is Eindhoven Airport (Netherlands), but also Brussels Airport and Brussels South Charleroi Airport are relatively nearby.
Public transport (train/bus) allows you to reach Lommel, however, a car is necessary to reach the training areas and therefore strongly recommended for this training camp.
