joe got me into this thing... volks walks.
volkssport or "sports for the people" is a long-standing german tradition. there's biking, walking, swimming events all over the place.
here's their brochure and their site, if you're interested in reading more into it.
being that it's german in origin, it is very very structured and organized. when you sign up, you get books. you get stamps in the books (1 for event, 1 for distance) for every event that you participate in. you turn in your books after you've hit certain milestones (10, 30, 50, etc events... 500, 1000, etc kms) and you get pins and patches in exchange.
it's a good way to explore towns. and see trails that you never knew were there.
anyway, we've done quite a few of them and i've always said that we should start a blog so we can rate them and remember which ones were good and which ones were just... meh.
