Preparations for the arbon classics 2022 are in full swing: "We are delighted to finally be able to inspire our visitors again with our wide range of events," says Roland Widmer, President of arbon classics, an important event in the Swiss classic car scene. With the flyover of an F/A 18 and the Super Puma Display Team, the arbon classics organizers have once again brought major attractions to the Arbon lake basin for 2022.

But it is not only in the air that visitors can expect numerous highlights. On the water, for example, the steamship "Hohentwiel" and the motor ship "Österreich" can be visited; both classic ships also invite you to take a tour. For fans of the rails, there will be rides on steam locomotives and historic trains. And, of course, countless exhibits from the classic car scene will once again be on display - people from near and far will once again make the pilgrimage to Arbon to present themselves at the beautiful lake basin.

The visual presentation was designed by John Dierauer and not only fires up the anticipation, but also shows in a wonderfully illustrated way what visitors can expect.

In the past, the major event took place every two years and attracted around 20,000 visitors to Arbon each time. This makes arbon classics one of the largest classic car events in Switzerland.

The area directly on the lake has a great ambience.

And if you're a lover of historic railroads and can't wait any longer in anticipation, we recommend a trip in the MThB-ABDe 4/ 4 No. 12 "Weinfelden" railcar from Romanshorn Weinfelden to the Winter Rigi Steam, which will take place on March 12, a unique spectacle. Europe's first mountain railroad has been running from Vitznau to the Rigi since 1871. Locomotives and carriages from the early years have been lovingly and expertly restored, two compositions with locomotives 16 and 17 as well as a train with the legendary locomotive no. 7, which was brought back to the Rigi by the Swiss Museum of Transport for the anniversary in 2021.

Further information can be found on the official website of the organizer.
