Die Glaserne Manufaktur Trip - August 2025


Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the home of the Volkswagen Phaeton, the Transparent Factory, before it closes at the end of 2025. This multi-day trip will take us through scenic routes, with great food, roads, and the chance to meet up with Phaeton enthusiasts from across Europe.

I’ve been in talks with the German Phaeton forum and Phaeton Club Poland, and together we’re expecting over 70 Phaetons at the event! We’ll meet up with them at the Transparent Factory on Saturday 02/08, where we’ll enjoy a guided tour of the factory followed by a spectacular mass drive-out of all the cars in attendance.

Itinerary:

  • Day 1 (31/07): Meet in western Germany and stay overnight.

  • Day 2 (01/08): Drive to Dresden with scenic stops.

  • Day 3 (02/08): Tour the Transparent Factory and enjoy a mass drive-out.

  • Day 4 (03/08): Head home with optional stops along the way.

Budget: Estimated budget for a single traveler with one car: £1,000 - £1,200.

This is the only chance to experience this event, as the factory will close at the end of 2025!
