3 8. Travel Details FOR CLIMBERS AND TEAM OFFICIALS PLEASE READ ABOUT THE GUARDIAN ANGELS SERVICE OF THE KLIMAX GOLDFINGER TEAM BELOW. IT SAVES YOU A LOT OF MONEY AND SECURES A PLEASANT AND COMFORTABLE JOURNEY THROUGOUT BELGIUM. Place of venue: Klimax - Sporthal De Vrijhals, Cyriel Verschaevestraat 15, 2870 Breendonk Puurs, Belgium. Tel: +32 (0) Reaching Klimax by car is quite easy. Yet, travel time is strongly influenced by rush hours. Out of rush hours, the trip from Brussels National Airport or Brussels South Train Station to Klimax takes about 30 minutes (ca. 30 km). From Brussels South Charleroi the trip to Klimax lasts about 1 hour (85 km). Traffic jams during rush hours can easily double this travel time! Remember that the climbing hall is located in a small town called Breendonk, a municipal district of Puurs, located along motorway nr. A12 (from Brussels to Antwerp). So, in case you get lost, ask for Breendonk, not for Puurs! The climbing hall is part of the sport centre 'De Vrijhals'. There is parking in front and at the back of the sports centre. Language In Belgium most people speak Dutch, French and English. Only few people understand and speak German. South of Brussels road signs will be in French, in the capital Brussels you will find indications in Dutch and in French, and in Puurs you will only find Dutch signs. A handful of interesting terms are translated below.
