A volksmarch is a leisurely walk through a scenic and/or historic area over a pre-marked trail. The walk is non-competitive and the participants can travel at their own pace, thus making this an excellent recreational activity for the entire family. A volksmarch is a great way to meet new friends and a fun way for individuals to receive exercise who would otherwise get very little.

If you are new to volksmarching, we suggest you walk over the route slowly, enjoy the scenery and fresh air. A volksmarch is also an educational event, allowing you to learn a little about the area in which it is held and to discover some of its history.
