King of the Road: Why Taking the Trabant Trek Could be the Perfect Stag Weekend Send Off

Many stag parties are travelling to Eastern Europe for a truly exceptional experience: the Trabant trek is the ultimate road-trip while combining the chance to travel in a classic of Eastern European engineering.

With a name taken from the German word for ‘satellite’, the Trabant is an East German-built car originally made as a motorbike. The once-popular car is made of a steel frame; the body is made of Duroplast, a plasticised cotton waste. It has a 600cc engine and 26 hp. One of the beauties of the car is that it is so easy to fix: a good mechanic can replace the engine in fifteen minutes! With a top speed of just over 50mph these cherished relics are becoming an ever-popular car to drive, with stag parties coming from all over Europe to drive the classic motors.

The car was so popular around 3 million cars were made up before production ceased in 1991. Many of the cars were exported and were favourites of many communist countries, being spacious for all of the family it was small, compact and very lightweight. Nicknamed Trabbi or Trabi, where were many versions, namely the Trabant 500, Trabant P 50 and the Tranbant 601. Now, the Tranbant has become a collector’s item with people all over the world and it has been used in many popular films.

Many people love the car for its nostalgic qualities, with collectors all over the world. Its bodywork made of recycled materials was the result of extensive research into alternative materials. Made of a resin, which is reinforced with cotton fibres, Duroplast is very similar to fibreglass (the latter was more widely accepted in the UK, as communist production was not very popular in other countries.)

The Trabant trek is a fantastic opportunity to take one of these enigmatic cars around the Eastern European countryside. With a couple of cars and the blokes in the back, you can have your own version of The Italian Job, or just take in the sights, while driving around at a leisurely pace. The Trabant trek is becoming a widely popular craze with people travelling all over the world in these little plastic cars. Take a picnic, or taste the local delights in the heart of the Hungarian hills.

The hottties go crazy over this little car and driving one will make you the envy of other motorists – at least in theory. You can get cosy in the back or pose with cute local girls on the bonnet. You can take part in the Trabant trek both in summer and winter; both are memorable for different reasons!

Take a soft top in the summer so you can get a closer look at the landscape or challenge your mates to a drive in the snow. The car’s two-stroke engine and dashboard gear-stick will only be the first part of the challenge. Whenever you decide to take on the Trabant trek be sure to allow the day, as you never know where this classic little car will take you.

Prague: Stag Capital of Europe

Prague has become one of the most popular destinations for British stag parties in recent years, earning titles such as “Stag Capital of Europe” and “Amsterdam of the East”. But with all the excitement the city has to offer, it’s certainly no surprise.

As one of Europe’s most beautiful and charming cities, Prague has some incredible architecture for history fans, including Gothic spires, ancient coffee houses and medieval streets. However, it’s the city’s beautiful female inhabitants, wide range of strip bars and night clubs, top class restaurants and beer costing as little as 50p a pint that makes Prague the real winner among British stag groups.

By day, Prague caters to stag groups by offering a huge range of activities which the lads can enjoy together. Whatever your level of love for the outdoors, you’ll be able to find an activity of interest – ranging from bobsleighing to bowling, paintballing to parachuting, clay pigeon shooting to a Czech football match. Or, how about a mini grand-prix race on the go-kart track followed by a tour of a local brewery? Those seeking a real jet fuelled experience can even get strapped into the Czech-made L-29 military plane, where they’ll climb at 4000ft per minute and fly through Czech airspace at over 700km per hour!

By night, Prague’s numerous bars and night clubs pulsate with activity. One of the most famous night spots is the multi-venue Acropolis which hosts a number of live gigs, theatre performances, cafés, club nights, bars and beer halls, making it one of the most well frequented night spots in the city. Eating out in Prague is great value and the perfect way to sample some hearty Czech cuisine, such as pork or beef stew with dumplings and delicious apple strudel for dessert, all washed down with a pivo (beer), for which the Czech Republic is world famous. There are also many western style and fast food restaurants, so there’s something to suit all palettes.

With so many established companies offering fully organised stag weekends to Prague, arranging your trip is simple. Most companies have stag weekend package deals to suit all budgets, which include transfers, accommodation and offer plenty of additional options to cater to the tastes of any group. And the fact that there are so many flights to Prague from London and throughout the UK, which take only two hours to reach the Czech Republic, means the city is easily accessible from the UK at a low price.

So, if you’re looking for a place to hold a stag weekend you’ll find no better city than Prague – the European stag capital!
