The walking club takes place every first and third Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m., with the next appointment already on July 2, 2025. The meeting point is the Hockenheimer chatter-Bänzle on the tithe barn. The walk is designed in such a way that it takes about an hour, during which sufficient seating is available for breaks.

In need of help, helpful participants are invited to bring their accompanying persons with them, as participation is made at their own responsibility.
