Volksmarching or Wanderung in Germany means the folks or people hiking and/or walking on a marked off path in the forest with check points. It is a form of non-competitive walking, biking or swimming that is very popular in Germany and in 40 different countries. Participants have a choice to walk 5, 10 or 20 kilometers. Sometimes they hold a 42 kilometers marathon, for those that love to go the distance. Volksmarching associations offer incentive awards for the entire family (usually pins and patches) for collecting a certain number of events. Volksmarching participants enjoy recording distances and event participation in international record books. You can sign up at any volksmarching event. You can find the list and dates of the events on internet at IVV.de called the (Internationaler Volkssportverband ) or at DVV.de called the (Deutscher Wanderrn Volkssportverband). It tells you the name of the state and town it is in and date. It also explains where it is located in the city, for example, at the sports or soccer field. Also, there is a telephone number to call if you have any questions. The German volksmarching menu is another good reason to come out and walk the trails. They offer the traditional german sausage. It is normally served as a red, made from beef, or a white, made from pork sausage and french fries. They occasionally have the good ole’ schnitzel with gravy or the tastey liver dumplings served with gravy and sauerkraut. Another good reason to come out is the atmosphere is really great. People of all ages participate and are even a member or a volksmarching club. There are many. A very popular one which is located by Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and its called Roadrunners. You can check it out at Ramststein Roadrunners on the internet. It is an unique, due to it is an American and German club combined and it promotes friendship among the American military families and the local German nationals. So there are many reasons, not to mention that it is also a very healthy to walk outside and breathe the fresh air, so try it out and enjoy a very scenic walk! --StacyMet1 (talk) 22:10, 18 February 2013 (UTC)StacyMet1 on Feb. 18, 2013 [1]
