The Wandering Just What is This All About?

IVV walks, the most popular type of event, are informal. Just put on comfortable walking clothes and shoes. You can usually find a list of walks in the Thursday edition of the Stars and Stripes travel section, on the German Volkssport Association (DVV) website, the International Volkssport Association (IVV) website, or the Ramstein Roadrunners' website. These sources and a good map of Germany are very helpful in planning your weekend adventures. Remember that a little trip planning on Friday can save you a lot of headaches on Saturday or Sunday morning.  Many of the IVV events are held in small towns that can be difficult to find without some pre-planning. As you head for the event, follow the IVV arrows usually found at autobahn exits, intersections and in or near the town sponsoring the event. The same rules apply for following these road signs as the trail signs: stay on the priority road until directed to turn by a sign. These signs are sometimes hard to see so take your spouse, family member or a friend to help navigate and walk with. Once there, follow these instructions for a pleasant and enjoyable time.
