Willy’s meeting is a cultural event. It has developed into the most important meeting of its kind beyond the German-speaking countries. More than 2,000 participants in over 650 vehicles from many European countries followed Marianne Janssen’sinvitation in 2009.
Globetrotters and travel friends from all over Europe are meeting for the 31th time this year! All new and old campervans, motorhomes, motorcycles, bicycles and backpackers are most welcome to join the meeting.
