In The Joy of Volksmarching, the reader will join the author in a series of memorable volksmarches through Germany in the 1970s. Each chapter is a vignette capturing the highlights of a particular volksmarch through the eyes of the author and brought to life by the colorful artwork of the illustrator. American armed services members and their families who brought the sport of volksmarching back to the United States when they returned from service in Germany will enjoy reliving their own experiences in the sport as practiced in the beautiful nature walks common throughout the German countryside. Younger readers who enjoy walking for their health will be inspired by the 96-year-old author’s stories and consider the long-term health benefits they might also reap by taking up the sport.
