Oldtimerwandern
German term for a relaxed classic-car outing focused on enjoying the scenery and region. Apart from the organisation time there is no timing – ideal for beginners.
Oldtimerwandern (literally 'classic-car rambling') is a German term for a particularly relaxed type of event in which enjoyment and experiencing the landscape and region – not competition – are the focus. Apart from the organisation time there are no time targets or timed scoring; participants travel together without pressure. The outing is sometimes rounded off with small, often playful tasks. Because it involves so few rules, Oldtimerwandern is especially suitable for beginners. There is no exact English equivalent; 'a leisurely classic-car tour' captures it best.
