Schauinsland Classic – the traditional event for classic car enthusiasts

The Schauinsland Klassik rally is the most famous event for classic cars and their enthusiasts in the Black Forest. The two-day rally takes place annually at the beginning of August and takes participants across the southern Black Forest. Traditionally, the first stage ends with the arrival and subsequent vehicle presentation on Freiburg's Münsterplatz – a highlight for drivers and spectators alike.

Since 2016, the winter rally has been held every January to kick off the season. This is not another glitzy event, but rather a focus on the fun of driving in the snow – where classic cars are allowed to get dirty.
