Histo-Monte: Track stop in Rheinfelden
WHERE TO MEET The signs for a smooth running of the AvD Histo-Monte are good. The numerous permits required from the authorities of five states for the almost 2,000-kilometer event have been obtained.
The start is on February 8 at 5 p.m. in Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany. After the first two days of driving through Germany, this year's AvD Histo-Monte will cross a national border for the first time on Thursday morning (February 10, 2022).
Closure of the historic city bridge
In Rheinfelden on Thursday, February 10, the teams will be allowed to use the historic town bridge, which is otherwise closed to vehicle traffic, to enter Switzerland. Immediately after entering, the participants roll up in front of the town hall in the Swiss part of the city to pick up another boarding pass stamp as part of a transit check.
The route then leads directly via Basel and the Laufental valley into the canton of Jura, where the next destination is Saint-Ursanne, before France comes into view just one check later.
Sections above the 1000 meter mark
After a stop at Lac de Saint-Point, the teams have even more lonely tracks to complete. In addition, the rally moves at an altitude that is above the 1000-meter mark for long stretches.
Passing Mouthe, statistically the coldest place in France, the route leads once again briefly across the Swiss border in the direction of Geneva and quite safely into the snow. Before the stage finish in Aix-les-Bains (F) in the evening, the mayor and the population welcome the riders in front of the town hall of the city, a regularity test is on the program.
Information for participants and fans
As a special service for media representatives, participants and also fans of historic rallying, the organizers of the AvD-Histo-Monte will not only provide pictures of previous events on their website, but will also offer photos of the current event.
In addition, a media documentation of the three past rallies in 2015, 2017 and 2019 is available.
