Delaware Wandervögel
"At the old German Hall, Saengerbund members often met at 6 o'clock in the morning in order to spend a day hiking in the country. Not long after the Delaware Saengerbund opened its doors in Ogletown, a small group decided to go hiking together. Not surprisingly they called themselves the Delaware Wandervögel. On October 14th, 1973, just like their predecessors, they met at the Saengerbund at 6 o'clock in order to drive to the Reading area. The group still meets each year for the traditional New Year's outing to French Creek State Park. There, in front of a warm fire in the shelter near the firetower, they have time to reminisce about the many miles and adventures of past years. With thankful hearts and thoughts of the future, the group intones the Andachtsjodel, the Solemn Alpine Yodel, before heading down the mountain. Wandern macht froh - Happiness is hiking! It only takes a good pair of hiking boots and a leader with a map!"
