Bad Hindelang: Vintage Car Race

Bad Hindelang lies in a quiet side valley in the Allgäu High Alps Nature Reserve in southern Bavaria. From October 18 to 21, 2007, it invites visitors to a vintage car race. The 9th Oldtimer Memorial & Historic Rallye is calling. The Jochpass race course is one of the most fascinating and highest mountain passes in Germany. Its bends are quite something, too.

Traditional Vintage Car Race

Around 150 international drivers have registered, demonstrating the importance of this traditional vintage car race. Jochpass races have been held through the wind-sheltered valley of this popular ski resort since the early 1920s. The race is now presented in a modern setting in Bad Hindelang.

Music festival “A Place Becomes Music”

The classical music festival “A Place Becomes Music” is also taking place in the ski resort of Bad Hindelang. Until October 13, renowned artists invite visitors to enjoy classical music in a special way. The aim is to bring audiences and artists closer together and make the distance between them disappear. The culinary treats served alongside the music help create this atmosphere, especially since ticket prices, including the menu, are very affordable. It’s well worth enjoying this popular ski holiday destination in a different way for a change.
