FANCY TAKING PART IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST PICNIC?
- BOOK NOW FOR QUIRKY 'STILL LIFE' EVENT IN RUHR REGION OF GERMANY 18 JULY -
If the idea of having a picnic on the motorway seems strange, then you might be surprised to hear about 'Still Life Ruhrschnellweg', which is taking place on 18 July in the Ruhr region of Germany. On that day, the busiest motorway in the region, the A40, will be transformed into the largest picnic area in the world, with one direction of the motorway reserved for bikes and in-line skaters, and the other reserved for picnickers!
The event is part of the celebrations of the Ruhr region of Germany being the UNESCO European Capital of Culture for 2010. Ruhr is the largest urban development in Germany, bursting with museums, musicals, leisure parks and festivals.
Specialist tour operator to Germany, DERTOUR (020 7290 1104) is offering a two night stay in the Ruhr region over the 'Still Life' event, priced from £269pp, based on accommodation in a four star hotel for two nights on a bed and breakfast basis, return flights from Heathrow - Düsseldorf and transfers. Priced based on two sharing. You can also book a table at the 'Still Life' event with Dertour starting at 180 euros for a table of ten.
