Fahrvergnügen -- fahren, to drive or to go, + Vergnügen, pleasureI think the loose structure is the most worrying.
[additional thought] does fartleknugen contrast with the discipline of fahrvergnügen? [/additional thought]
-or if you believe the Urpin'Dictionary:
"Fahrvergnugen is slang for Jägermeister; a German liqueur that tastes like camel armpits."
So -- ja.
Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots! Knife no one, fink!

While we're all talking dirty in Swedish instead of Hawaiian, the word for The Sleigh Ride in German is Die Schlittenfahrt. The former is the title of a light orchestral piece written during a heat wave in August, 1946, the latter is "the popular name given to one of the Three German Dances composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart."
See also: The Great Sleigh Drive (Die große Schlittenfahrt), " ... a daring and bold maneuver by Frederick William, the Great Elector of Brandenburg-Prussia, to drive Swedish forces out of the Duchy of Prussia, a territory of his which had been invaded by the Swedes during the winter of 1678.
