Anniversary weekend Type III and Type IV on the weekend of August 23/24, 2025.
You will surely know by now: once a year, Volkswagen Type III and Type IV enthusiasts go on a tour together, and in 2025, this will already be the fifth time in a row. To celebrate this appropriately, we will commemorate this anniversary over an entire weekend! Of course, participation for just one day is also possible.
So far, we have traveled through the area of many rivers, in Zeeland, the Achterhoek, and the Alblasserwaard in the Netherlands. Now our journey leads us towards the province of Limburg. With an eye on the German participants, we will start near Venlo, where the VW 412 Club Holland will join us for the weekend.
‘In d’Ouwe Peel’
The starting point for our air-cooled two-day event is the Hotel-Restaurant ‘In d’Ouwe Peel’, Oude Peelstraat 2, NL-5759 PC in Helenaveen (+ 15 km west of the Venlo motorway junction). All hotel rooms will be reserved for participants of the anniversary weekend. Additionally, there is a nice, quiet campsite nearby with spacious pitches. On both days, we will meet at the hotel-restaurant from 10:30 AM for a delicious cup of coffee, tea, or a cold drink, accompanied by some treats! The drive will start around 11:15 AM.
What will we do?
On Saturday, we will set off for a sporty, traditionally cultural-historical activity in Roermond. As usual, we will make several stops to stretch our legs and see or try something new. On Sunday, we will head northeast and celebrate Valentine's Day appropriately once more before finishing the weekend back near the Venlo motorway junction.
Registration
The cost for the Type III/Type IV anniversary weekend is expected to be around €12.50 per person per day. Pre-registration is required, which will be available from early June until August 10 through the LVWCN homepage (www.lvwcn.nl/evenementen).
Please book hotel or campsite yourself
As mentioned, registrations for this weekend are made through the LVWCN homepage. Everyone must arrange their own accommodation. This can be done, for example, at Hotel/Restaurant ‘In d’Ouwe Peel’ (Tel. 0493-844131 / hotel@indouwepeel.nl – www.indouwepeel.nl – which is also the starting point for drives). There are also other accommodations available in the vicinity. Camping options can be found at Jo and Marie Donkers, the leaders of SVR Camping De Peelkant, Centurioweg 7, Helenaveen (Tel. 06-12047493 / 06-12313345 or via depeelkant@outlook.com – www.peelkant.com).
