Second Annual Alpine Village Volkswanderung, 5K or 10K “German Style” walk on the beautiful established hiking trails alongside trout streams and foothills between Helen and Unicoi State Park Lodge. This is an AVA sanctioned walk event. For many years the Alpine Volkswanderung (trail walk) was an annual event in Helen every April, a celebration of spring in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. The celebration begins again, with a walk, many gifts and prizes available at drawing. Walk registration fee, $3.00 and $5.00 for a 2024 souvenir walk pin.
