Get ready for the ultimate holiday meet-up for air-cooled Volkswagen vehicles right on the Elbe beach! For the twelfth time, enthusiasts will gather with open bonnets, shining eyes, and the unmistakable scent of vintage Volkswagens for three days of pure Beetle cult, Camper van vibes, and the proof that air-cooling needs no heating – just good weather.
This year's Küstendrive promises an unforgettable experience for all air-cooled VW fans. Whether you're bringing a freshly restored Beetle, a patinated Camper, or a vibrant Type 3, this event celebrates passion and craftsmanship. Expect a relaxed atmosphere with no pre-registration, no stress, and no dress code – just the shared love for air-cooled vehicles. The event features a vibrant parts market, live music, a cocktail bar, and the exciting 'Show & Shine' competition where the most beloved vehicles are celebrated.
