Up to four motorhomes can stay here free of charge, and electricity is also included. Fresh water is available, as well as facilities for disposing of both grey and black water. 4G and satellite reception are good.
The entrance to the site is directly off the main road and right next to the motorhome sign. However, the entrance was difficult to spot, so I drove through the town first before finding it.

Die Einfahrt zum Stellplatz liegt direkt an der Hauptstraße und direkt neben dem Wohnmobil-Schild. Die Einfahrt war jedoch schwer zu erkennen, sodass ich erst durch den Ort gefahren bin, bevor ich zum Platz gefunden habe.
Almost home. In Sinsheim, I left the motorway because a traffic jam had been reported further ahead. Shortly afterwards, I came across this rest area between Dühren and Eschelbach – just the right place for a coffee break.
I took the opportunity to stretch my legs one last time before continuing the final kilometres home on country roads.
The photos show some of Heidelberg’s most famous landmarks: the Old Bridge (Carl Theodor Bridge) crossing the Neckar, the famous Bridge Monkey, and the historic city gate at the entrance to the Old Town.
A small glimpse of Heidelberg’s historic heart – a place that always brings back memories for me.

A good starting point for both short and longer hikes through the Thuringian Forest. Several hiking trails cross here, including the Way of St. James and the Luther Trail 1521.
Martin Luther also passed through this area as early as 1521. On his journey from Wittenberg to the Imperial Diet in Worms and on his return to the Wartburg near Eisenach, his route led through this region.

Wanderparkplatz an der Bundesstraße 84
Guter Ausgangspunkt für kleinere und größere Wanderungen durch den Thüringer Wald. Hier kreuzen sich verschiedene Wanderwege, darunter der Jakobsweg und der Lutherweg 1521.
Auch Martin Luther kam bereits 1521 hier vorbei. Auf seiner Reise von Wittenberg zum Reichstag nach Worms und auf dem Rückweg zur Wartburg bei Eisenach führte sein Weg durch diese Region.
We found this campsite almost by chance while driving through Montalivet-les-Bains. It wasn’t listed in our camping app, so we would probably never have found it otherwise.
As we were travelling outside the main season, the campsite looked rather quiet and almost a little deserted. But after talking to the owner, we learned that the real hustle and bustle only starts a little later in the year.
It turned out to be a lovely campsite, beautifully located right by the sea. Sometimes it pays to simply stop and have a look instead of relying entirely on the apps.
I stopped by the Rhine near Rheinhausen today, mainly to take a look at the current water level. It is still unusually low, revealing parts of the riverbank that are normally hidden beneath the water.
The Rhine is showing a different side of itself right now.
I didn't even know this was a thing, got off the train to meet a friend and we stumbled onto this. It was pretty cool to just wander around and see what we could do!
This little bar in Arlington Heights had a NES(didn't look like an original, more like a PI with that case) with a TNMT game loaded up. Played it with a friend. We died at the second level(right at the point you see) but was fun! I'd play it again.
I didn't know what operation micemeat was, but it's actually quite impressive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mincemeat. It's about a British deception on the Nazis. I am not interested enough by musicals to watch this though.
It’s really cool seeing the airports from the sky. I’m sure the pilots see it daily, but as a passenger, gotta be on the correct side of the plane to get a glimpse of it!
A motorhome stopover for around 15 vehicles on the outskirts of Velden. During the summer months, the site costs €5 per night.
Payment is rather unusual: at the entrance, you take a plastic card from a box and place it visibly inside your vehicle. You then put the €5 into the slot where the card was taken from.
Fresh water is available for €1 per 80 litres. Grey and black water disposal is free of charge. 4G and satellite reception are both good.

The Altvaterturm is more than just a beautiful destination for hikers. It is also a memorial against war and forced displacement.
The tower commemorates the loss of the former Altvater region and the fate of people who were forced to leave their homeland after the Second World War. Today, it stands as a reminder of the past and as a symbol of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence.

Lehesten – Der Altvaterturm, ein Symbol der Versöhnung
Der Altvaterturm ist mehr als nur ein schönes Ausflugsziel für Wanderer. Er ist auch ein Mahnmal gegen Krieg und Vertreibung.
Der Turm erinnert an den Verlust der ehemaligen Region Altvater und an das Schicksal der Menschen, die nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gezwungen waren, ihre Heimat zu verlassen. Heute dient er als Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit und als Symbol der Versöhnung und des friedlichen Zusammenlebens.
Durbach lies at the foot of the Black Forest and is one of the best-known wine villages in the Ortenau region. The steep vineyards shape the landscape around the village. Durbach is particularly famous for its Klingelberger, a Riesling with a long tradition in the region.
Winegrowing is also present throughout the village itself. An old wine press is a reminder of how grapes were processed in earlier times. Today, tradition and tourism go hand in hand: numerous wineries invite visitors to taste their wines, and there are several campsites for motorhome travellers.
For me, Durbach is a wonderful example of the Ortenau: wine, the Black Forest and Baden’s way of life, all in one place.
German:
Durbach – ein Dorf im Zeichen des Weins
Durbach liegt am Fuß des Schwarzwalds und gehört zu den bekanntesten Weinorten der Ortenau. Die steilen Weinberge prägen das Landschaftsbild rund um den Ort. Besonders bekannt ist Durbach für den Klingelberger, einen Riesling, der hier eine lange Tradition hat.
Auch im Ort selbst begegnet man überall dem Weinbau. Eine alte Weinpresse erinnert daran, wie die Trauben früher verarbeitet wurden. Heute verbinden sich Tradition und Tourismus: Zahlreiche Weingüter laden zur Verkostung ein und auch für Wohnmobilreisende gibt es mehrere Stellplätze.
Für mich ist Durbach damit ein schönes Beispiel für die Ortenau: Wein, Schwarzwald und badische Lebensart auf engem Raum.
The Zinkenbusch hiking car park is located between Östringen and Eichelberg. It is an ideal starting point for short and longer hikes through the Kraichgau countryside.
Opened in May 2023 after nine months of construction, the Black Forest Line suspension bridge spans 450 metres across the valley. The walkway is 1.20 metres wide and hangs 120 metres above the ground.
Today I crossed it myself. Getting to the other side was quite a wobbly affair – especially when the bridge started moving beneath my feet. 😉
Afterwards, we visited the nearby Todtnau Waterfalls, which made a great finish to the day.
Today we’re exploring the southern Black Forest. Our first stop is the motorhome campsite in Bernau-Dorf. After a short hike, we stopped for a meal at the Bergblick restaurant.
The food was delicious, and it was a perfect way to round off our first little adventure.
The origin of the Votivkirche in Vienna was a failed assassinaton attempt on the young Emperor Franz Josef I. (1830-1916) in 1853.
Currently it is decorated with some art installation.

It’s hard to believe how many vehicles of all sizes can fit into such a small site. When we arrived, the gate was locked. We were supposed to register via WhatsApp, but nothing happened.
In the end, the campers helped each other out and shared the access code. “That’s normal here,” one of them told me.
Apparently, it’s not possible to reserve a space in advance. Once inside, the location is quite convenient: the centre of Merano can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes.

Wohnmobilstellplatz Meran
Es ist kaum zu glauben, wie viele Fahrzeuge aller Größen auf einem so kleinen Gelände Platz finden. Als wir ankamen, war das Tor verschlossen. Wir sollten uns eigentlich über WhatsApp anmelden, aber es passierte nichts.
Schließlich halfen sich die Camper gegenseitig und gaben den Zugangscode weiter. „Das ist hier ganz normal“, sagte mir einer von ihnen.
Anscheinend ist es nicht möglich, einen Stellplatz im Voraus zu reservieren. Ist man erst einmal drinnen, ist die Lage recht günstig: Das Zentrum von Meran ist zu Fuß in etwa 20 Minuten zu erreichen.
The Metra train station at Chicago Ogilvie has a nice perspective of the city. Hearing the trains pull in/out can be very loud but cool to see them move so many people around. Is that train brakes in my last picture? Anyone know?
A free, paved motorhome stopover right next to the lake on the outskirts of the village. Fresh water is available, as well as facilities for disposing of both grey and black water. There is no electricity.
A small restaurant is located nearby.
We spent the first night of our trip to Spain here, enjoying a quiet and peaceful start to the journey.
Our visit to Le Verdon-sur-Mer was actually connected with a little delivery mission. An acquaintance had moved here, and we brought along a few things for her.
The motorhome stopover is located on the outskirts of the town and is subject to a fee. It offers fresh water, facilities for disposing of both grey and black water, and electricity.
A practical stop for us – with a personal reason for being there.
We had no idea that our journey would involve a ferry crossing. We simply assumed there would be a bridge somewhere. Then our sat-nav suddenly announced: “You have reached your destination.” 😄
Only then did we realise that the road ended at the Gironde and that we had to cross by ferry.
So we drove onto the ferry and enjoyed the short crossing from Le Verdon-sur-Mer to Royan. The views across the water were beautiful, and what had initially been a little surprise turned into a memorable part of our journey.
Sometimes the best travel experiences are the ones you didn’t plan for.
Our journey through the USA began with a flight from Frankfurt via Charlotte to Las Vegas.
We spent our first two nights at the Circus Circus Hotel, giving us a little time to recover from the long journey and get our first impressions of Las Vegas.
And this was just the beginning of our American adventure.

The location is particularly convenient: the town centre can be reached within a few minutes, and there is a good train connection. From here, we took the train to Innichen and spent the day hiking in the surrounding mountains.
A beautifully located motorhome stopover without any facilities. There is a restaurant nearby, though, with rather unusual opening hours.
The site is an ideal starting point for hikes in Hohe Tauern National Park. We completely underestimated how early it would get dark. Luckily, there is a shuttle service that brought us back to the motorhome stopover just in time, before darkness set in.
On this trip, we were travelling from Galicia through the Spanish interior towards the Mediterranean. Lake Caspe was one of our stops along the way.
At the time, we were travelling with a rented motorhome to find out whether motorhome travel was really something for us. Looking at these photos today, the campsite seems like a perfect place for that little experiment – surrounded by trees and palms, with the reservoir right on our doorstep.
And apparently, the experiment worked. 😉
Just four months later, we visited the Caravan Show and ordered our own motorhome.
Interestingly, we originally planned to buy a semi-integrated motorhome, just like the one we had rented. But shortly before making the final decision, we changed our minds and went for a panel van instead.
Looking back now, that turned out to be quite an important stop on our journey. Lake Caspe was, in a way, where our life as motorhome travellers began.
Up to four motorhomes can stay here free of charge, and electricity is also included. Fresh water is available, as well as facilities for disposing of both grey and black water. 4G and satellite reception are good.

My childhood dream was to become a fighter pilot. Well, I didn’t quite make it into the sky, but I did make it to 7.5 tonnes on four wheels! 😄
I was talking with a coworker about what we'd do if we weren't doing what we do now, and fighter jet pilot was my top pick!
Looks like we had the same dream! Maybe it’s the feeling of freedom and adventure that makes flying so appealing. 😄
