Popular Questions (FAQ):

1) PRICE & Additional Fees:

first of all its FREE 🙂

We do not charge any additional fees. However, it goes without saying that gasoline, food, and hotels must be paid for by the participants themselves.

IMPORTANT: If you don’t already have one, you will need to purchase a vignette for driving in Switzerland. It is valid for one year and costs 40 francs. Unfortunately, this is a mandatory fee for using Swiss roads. It is also required at the border. You can buy it here: https://via.admin.ch/shop/dashboard

2) Trip Dates:

To avoid holiday congestion and align with the time most people are free, the trip is planned for 2 days: August 3-4. we meet each other in Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Freiburg, Basel areas. Durect drive-plan and WhatsApp Groups will be prepared closer to date.

3) Vehicle Requirements:

We are not participating in a race, but since the goal of the event is driving enjoyment and the road itself, it would be nice if the vehicles are agile and technically capable of handling the route. Sports cars/convertibles/young and oldtimers/coupes/hot hatches/any 2-doors are very welcome, but of course, we will not restrict anyone.

4) Accommodation Options:

Since everyone has different financial means, it was decided that everyone books their own hotels or camps with tents. Here are some options:

*Camping Option for the Adventurous:*
