These were a lot of fun and besides the long walk down scenic paths, you could learn a bit about Germany, win a medal and get some great finger food. And beer. lol

I did a few of them, and also did some charity biking events with the Germans. Loved it! Fun times indeed!

1SG (Join to see) - I applaud anyone who has the inclination to get out off the base while there and immerse themselves to any culture.

I went on many of them during the 2+ years I was stationed in Erlangen, Germany. I bought a walking stick and bought a stein and a badge (mounted to the stick) for every one I did.

For some of the walks, my memory is a bit sketchy - although I'm sure that doesn't have any direct correlation to the beer that was available about every 1/2 kilometer.

I never did a Volksmarch, but I did the Nijmegen 4 day march once. That was pretty fun.
