Volksmarching
began in Germany during the 1960s. It is a non-competitive walk which
can be done as an individual, with a group or as a family. The distance
of each sanctioned walk accumulates for the walker leading toward
various recognition awards.
The
Helen Volksmarch begins at the Festhalle Biergarten and leads you
through the trails of Unicoi and Smithgall Woods State Parks. Not only
do you get some good exercise, you also get to see some beautiful
scenery and may even catch a glimpse of some wildlife.
