Volksmarch Hiking Days
Volksmarches or “Internationale Wandertage” are a form of non-competitive physical fitness training, which takes the participants through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany. The walking distance varies from 5 to 10 or 20 kilometer routes on scenic trails through forests, along rivers and lakes or around historic sites. There is no set start time, but hikers must begin within a window of time and finish it before the organizers close the event down. Trails are typically marked well along the way. Many trails are stroller-friendly and provide great opportunity to explore the countryside. After the walk the local hiking clubs usually offer food and drink in a hall or tent, sometimes even at a half-way point. Avid hikers can get a hiking passport stamped each place they participate, and many clubs reward their visitors with a small token.

– June 27 and 28: Spalt, 5, 10, 15 km with Wanderfreunde Spalt, 09175-1500. Start: 7 a.m. to noon at Feuerwehrhaus, Industriestraße 16, 91174 Spalt. To learn more, visit http://www.dvv-wandern.de/files/documents/ausschreibungen_wandertage/fr/2015/Spalt27.06.u.28.06.2015.pdf.
