We will see historic cars, motorcycles, and tractors in Höhenrain

  The announcement board (PHOTO) at the village entrance of Höhenrain at the festival meadow can be seen when driving up the Höhenrainerstrasse from Münsing towards Munich - or vice versa. THE PLACE: Höhenrain is located in Upper Bavaria and is one of those small communities where traditions are still cultivated and upheld. The small town lies south of Munich, between Wolfratshausen and Berg am Starnberger See, to whose municipality it belongs.

1.     Concept 1, which as a prototype paved the way for the Volkswagen New Beetle: The forerunner of the iconic production model was the Concept 1 - as the first study to come from the new Volkswagen design studio in Simi Valley, America... First presented at the Detroit Motor Show in 1994, The model received a strong response, which led Volkswagen to develop the Beetle to series production. In 1998 - again at the Detroit Motor Show - the New Beetle was finally officially presented.
2.     Bugatti design study EB 18/4 Veyron: The designer model designed by Hartmut Warkuß and Josef Kaban later went into series production as the Bugatti Veyron... The study celebrated its premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1999. Today, the Bugatti design study EB 18/4 Veyron is one of the milestones in automotive history. The car dealership is announcing a surprise for fans of the brand from Molsheim in the Autostadt shortly.
