I had not heard this term before, but I love the idea! Coming up this weekend is a local volkssporting event , a volkswalk. These are family friendly events which are open to anyone of any age (children under 12 must be with an adult.) It is a free event. You choose your own start time (within the given time frame) and participate in the 10K walk. You can go at a leisurely pace and enjoy the historic sights and sounds of your local route. The route is monitored with check points throughout. It sounds like a wonderful way to spend some time together enjoying local points of interest you may have otherwise overlooked.

My daughter spent some time in Germany, and they did something similar there. She said it was just great!
I really wanted to go to this event. (though I am sure it would be MUCH more fun to do in Germany!!) it just did not work out for us this weekend; too much to do otherwise. but I am hoping there will be another one soon! I really want to join in on this! and now I'll know to be aware of these in many different places!
