Program

GTR18 – Friday, 31 July to Tuesday, 4 August 2026 in 56743 Mendig

We are once again looking forward to coming together for the German Triple Run in 2026.

This time, the planning and organisation of GTR18 are once again in the hands of Ralph and Rita.

Originally, the idea was to hold the meeting in Weertzen again. Unfortunately, due to a lack of sufficient volunteers, organising the event there is currently not possible.

Therefore, we will return to Mendig, where we have already had very positive experiences.

The programme will be very similar to that of previous years: shared rides through a beautiful region, good food, relaxed evenings, and above all plenty of time for conversation, meeting old and new friends, and enjoying time together.

But now to the details:

Our base will once again be the:

Hotel Hansa
Laacherseestr. 11
56743 Mendig

The following rooms are available to us, with good use more than 30 people can be accommodated.

Single room 86,– €/night
Double room144,– €/night
3-bed room183,– €/night
The prices include the rich hotel breakfast!

For participants with a tent or camper, a campsite is available just about one kilometre (15 minutes on foot) from the hotel.

Campingplatz Siesta
Laacherseestr. 6
56743 Mendig

Those staying at the campsite may join the hotel breakfast for €20 per person per day. Prior registration is required.

If a Post-GTR is desired, a Monday trip could be organized and a room extension would also be possible.

Friday, 31 July – Arrival

The first official day is Friday. Participants will gradually arrive in Mendig during the day. After arrival, coffee and cake will be available, along with suitably cool drinks.

For our evening meal, we will once again visit the Vulkan Brewery, and if the weather is fine we will enjoy the beer garden.

Afterwards, the evening will wind down comfortably at the hotel – the drinks fridge will be well stocked.

Saturday – Ride through the Region

Once again, an interesting ride through the surrounding region has been prepared. As usual, it will take us along beautiful roads to attractive places, including a coffee stop along the way.

In the evening we will once again enjoy the specialities of the Vulkan Brewery. Afterwards, the day will finish with a relaxed drink back at the hotel.

Sunday – Post-GTR

After breakfast, those participants who have come only for the weekend will begin their journey home.

For everyone who wishes to stay longer, there will again be a Post-GTR programme. The time can be organised individually – there are many interesting places to discover in and around Mendig.

In the evening we will go out for dinner together.

Monday – Final Ride Together

One more time we will set off on another tour through the region, visiting several special places around Mendig.

Afterwards we will meet in Mendig for a final dinner together.

Tuesday, 4 August – Departure

One last shared breakfast, time to say goodbye – and then it will once again be time to say:

“Off we go!”

We are already looking forward to spending a few wonderful days with you at GTR18 in Mendig.
