The Deutschland Rally is finally BACK!
One country - endless adventures. One week - countless experiences. 1,500km - incredible diversity. From the wild seas in the north to the highest mountain peaks in the south, through the enchanted forests of the east to the Alps in the south. The Deutschland Rally is the ultimate adventure on your doorstep.
The Deutschland Rally doesn't just go straight ahead. Every bend in the road is taken, with all its ups and downs. The “beloved” German autobahns are taboo! You make your own way along time-honored avenues, alpine panoramic roads and windy coastal paths. Start in May 2026 at the most wicked adventure rally right on your doorstep and discover Germany as you have never experienced it before.
Your old/new school vehicle, no GPS or sat nav, over 1,500km in 5 days through the land of diversity!

From nudist camping on the Brandenburg lakes, to glamorous beach hotels on the coast and cosy mountain guesthouses, everything is allowed! You can decide what you like best on each stage, depending on your spirit of adventure and budget.
At the end of each stage you will find a cosy hotel or guesthouse, so camping is not a must. The spontaneous search for a suitable place to stay on the respective stage is usually no problem during the rally period.
Road conditions may vary, but don't worry:
The official road book takes you exclusively on tarmac roads - ideal for lowered vehicles.
If you like it wilder, you can of course also opt for gravel tracks, remote mountain passes or pothole courses.
Your route, your adventure.
The event begins around 10am and the official start takes place between 11 and 12am.
On the evenings prior, all adventurers can already get to know each other at the pre-adventure-get-together and get in the mood for the upcoming adventures. The event will start around 6pm.
Of course, all friends and fans are welcome.
At the start of the Deutschland Rally, the Roadbook will be handed over to your team, packed with great stage suggestions, incredible challenges, fun & adventure.
The tasks and adventures have to be solved in the best possible way with your team until you reach the finish line. Creativity and talent for improvisation are key.
The roadbook tasks are not compulsory!
On the way through Germany, we celebrate awesome rally events with you.
Where and what exactly happens on the route will remain our secret until the start...you'll find out in the Roadbook!
