Drachenfest IV : A Deals Gap Weekend Getaway

PCA’s Wilderness Trail Region’s DrachenFest IV is not just a weekend trip; it’s an opportunity to forge lasting bonds and create cherished memories. This adventure will take you through the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, Nantahala, Cherokee, and Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests, covering about 750 miles of picturesque landscapes and exhilarating roads, an unforgettable mountain getaway.

Get ready to navigate the renowned Tail of the Dragon, the serpentine Hellbender, the historic Moonshiner 28, the breathtaking Cherohala Skyway, and the challenging Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb. We’ll also cruise along The Gauntlet, Georgia’s best kept secret and explore many hidden backroads that will only be disclosed closer to the event (we want to keep them a secret!). We have also planned a visit to Helen, GA – a piece of Bavaria, Germany at our hotel’s door!

Our base for this exceptional journey is the elegant Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Young Harris, Georgia and only 4 miles north of North Carolina, at an elevation of 2,150 feet, this resort offers a serene mountain retreat experience. Below, you’ll find all the details you need for lodging, including how to book your room with our group discounted rate.

For those eager to start early, we’ve arranged a special drive on Thursday, August 1st, beginning at 1:00 p.m. This 100-mile route promises to be both short and spectacular. If you choose to join us on Thursday, you can conveniently check into the resort afterward (no need to arrive a day earlier, on Wednesday).

As we fine-tune the event, expect some minor adjustments to the schedule and arrangements. We’re meticulously organizing every aspect, from restaurant reservations to route planning, to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone this August.
