Our review: The 5th DACH meeting 2024 in Krakauschatten
In May 2024, the 5th DACh meeting (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) of WIMA-Austria took place in Krakauschatten. Even though the weather didn’t exactly spoil us on this long weekend – it was cold and rainy most of the time – we still made the best of it. The rain did not deter us from our enthusiasm and there were many great moments that we will remember fondly.
Relaxing in the spa instead of motorbike tours
Thanks to the great location of our host, the Gasthof Jagawirt, we were able to enjoy the weekend to the full despite the rain. The small but excellent spa was often used to warm up and relax. Instead of long motorbike tours, we found alternative programmes that we were just as enthusiastic about. Creative workshops, walks together and interesting conversations were on the programme, which gave us the opportunity to get to know each other better.
Socialising and General Assembly
The weather also gave us more time for socialising. We spent the evenings together in a cosy atmosphere, laughed a lot and enjoyed the excellent cuisine at the inn. The General Assembly was also held in a relaxed atmosphere, where we not only discussed organisational matters, but also celebrated the development of our organisation.
A special souvenir: The 5th DACh meeting T-shirt
To mark our fifth anniversary, a special T-shirt was designed for every participant to purchase. This souvenir symbolises the community we have built across national borders and will certainly remind us of this special weekend for a long time to come.
Better weather on the return journey
On the day of departure, the weather had finally improved somewhat. Although it was still chilly, some of us were able to enjoy the journey home on our motorbikes and feel the fresh, clear air on the roads after the rain.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, the DACh meeting was a complete success. It showed once again that it’s not just motorcycling that unites us, but above all the team spirit and the joy of shared experiences. We are already looking forward to the next meeting and hope for better weather – but as the saying goes: there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!
