DAY 2 AT THE DSTNCMP²³.

However, after the opening celebration at the fortress the previous evening, some revelers were drawn to the "Stollen 1930" well past midnight. Over 600 years ago, four men carved it 90 meters deep into the fortress mountain over a 19-year construction period. Originally, it served to cool beer; today, it houses the gin bar of the legendary "Auracher Löchl". With over 1,000 different varieties, it is considered one of the largest gin collections in the world.

Perhaps it was also due to the rain that not as many participants as expected moved between the session locations. However, everyone gathered again for lunch at the central netzvitamineHUB. Spiced yogurt with falafel, lentil curry with flatbread, hake fillet, or sweet and sour chicken breast were on the buffet, along with fruit juices, mineral water, or a glass of wine. An excellent catering by Festungswirtschaft Kufstein.

The netzvitamineTEAM responded professionally to the unfavorable weather conditions by simply re-arranging the vacation offers : Instead of a mountain ascent with the Kaiserlift, there was a rain-suitable panoramic hike on the city mountain, and the e-bike pleasure tour was transformed into a pleasure tour with a bus ride to Albert Schmider's schnapps distillery in the almost 500-year-old farmhouse.

In Plangger's rock cellar in Niederndorf, thousands of cheese wheels could be admired on long shelves, and the robust, spicy mountain cheese specialties were, of course, available for tasting. Others watched the glassblowers at the 265-year-old Riedel Glass Manufactory, while still others were initiated into the secrets of the 'Heroes' Organ' at the fortress – with its 4,948 pipes, the largest outdoor organ in the world.

Many participants also spent the afternoon in the co-working area of the netzvitamineHUB or in their hotel to check emails, network, or simply to get in the mood for the evening event at Alpengasthof Schneeberg.

Six buses transported the participants on a winding journey to the excursion destination located 1,000 meters high above Thiersee on the north side of the Pendling. The mighty massif of Kufstein's local mountain already greeted them, dark with clouds, over the Inn river as they walked to the bus parking lot.

Upon arrival at the top, five 'Stoaschleidara' created a cozy atmosphere for the Tyrolean evening of DSTNCMP²³ with typical 'Kufstoana Tanzlmusig'. Trombone, horn, trumpet, washboard, tuba, and clarinet filled the wood-paneled parlors and dining rooms – all firmly in the hands of the nearly 250 participants – with polka, waltz, Boarische, Ländler, and evergreens from the 50s and 60s.

Hams, cheeses, lard, and salami piled up on the rustic tables, while vegan appetizers were available at the buffet. Baked potatoes, spinach and cheese dumplings, or schnitzel from alpine pork satisfied even the biggest appetites, and fruit salad with ice cream or Kaiserschmarrn with apple sauce contributed so many calories that no one started their journey home hungry. Instead, they were wine-fueled, beer-fueled, and blissful – and many stayed past midnight to celebrate Carsten Gluth's 58th birthday. With his company C3 Carpe Connect Communications, Carsten has been responsible for the much-praised supporting program and catering of DestinationCamp for years.
