Summer may be coming to an end, but at ARK Village, a new season is just getting started. Tucked away by the Danube, surrounded by water, forests and the landscapes of the Upper Danube region, ARK is a place to slow down, get outdoors, meet good people — and stay a little longer than you originally planned. This autumn and winter, ARK is turning individual events into something bigger: weekend retreats.
COME FOR THE EVENT. STAY FOR THE WEEKEND.
Summer may be coming to an end, but at ARK Village, a new season is just getting started.
Tucked away by the Danube, surrounded by water, forests and the landscapes of the Upper Danube region, ARK is a place to slow down, get outdoors, meet good people — and stay a little longer than you originally planned.
This autumn and winter, ARK is turning individual events into something bigger:
weekend retreats.
Imagine arriving with a few friends on Friday. You settle into a bungalow by the lake. There is no rush. During the day, you head outside — cycling, canoeing, fishing, hiking, taking photographs, learning outdoor skills or simply exploring the Liberland and Danube landscape.
Then comes the evening. A fire. Food cooking slowly. A drink and a long conversation.
New people joining the table.
And the feeling that there is really no reason to go home yet.
COME FOR THE EVENT. STAY FOR THE WEEKEND.

ADVENTURE AT ARK
ARCHERY, OUTDOOR SKILLS AND EXPLORATION
Our first autumn retreat is built around adventure.
The Archery Gathering on 3–4 October will bring together people who want to spend a weekend outside, test their skills and have some fun.
But archery is only part of it.
Expect outdoor challenges, adventure activities, canoeing, movement, exploration and practical outdoor skills — with plenty of opportunities to simply enjoy the lake and the Danube.
Bring your friends. Come for the gathering. Stay for the whole weekend.
NOTE: Safety rules will be followed strictly on the archery range! Get your tickets here.

NATURE AT ARK
TWO WHEELS, WATER, WILDLIFE AND THE DANUBE
On 24–25 October, ARK turns its attention to the natural world around us.
The Nature Retreat will combine a bike tour with the Sombor cycling community, a fishing tour with the master fishermen from Apatin, and a range of activities connected with the landscape around ARK.
There will be opportunities for photography, bird watching, fishing, cycling, walking and discovering the unique environment of the Danube region.
It is a weekend for people who would rather experience nature than simply look at it through a window.
And once again, there is no need to rush home after the activity.
Stay by the lake. Cook together. Explore all weekend.

WELLNESS, LONGEVITY AND WINTER ALCHEMY
As the days become shorter, ARK changes rhythm.
The Longevity Retreat, 21–22 November, will focus on wellness, healthy living, movement, relaxation and spending quality time away from the usual urban routine.
And then comes Winter Alchemy, 12–13 December.
Cold air. Warm fire. Traditional winter food. Nature. Conversation.
A different kind of winter experience — one built around people, simplicity and being outdoors.

MORE THAN AN EVENT
ARK is designed for more than a single activity. You can come with your partner, your family, your friends, your community or your team.
Spend the day outdoors.
Take a canoe onto the water. Go cycling. Try fishing. Walk through the surrounding nature. Photograph wildlife. Learn something new.
Have a massage or simply do absolutely nothing.
Then return to the lake, cook something together and spend the evening around the fire.
You can stay for one night. Or two. Or three.
The point is not to fill every minute with a program. The point is to have a reason to stay.

YOUR WEEKEND. YOUR CREW. YOUR ARK.
ARK Village is particularly suited to groups who want something different from the standard weekend trip.
Friends looking for an adventure. Families wanting time in nature.
Communities bringing people together. Business teams escaping the office.
Liberland groups looking for a place to meet, work, explore and relax.
There is accommodation by the lake, space for outdoor activities, food, nature and plenty of room to create your own weekend.
You don't have to follow a rigid schedule. Build your own.
