In Brief

On the Austrian A13 highway at the Luegbrücke bridge, temporary rules are in effect due to repairs: motorhomes over 3.5 tons are banned from the right lane. Violations result in a €90 fine and possible additional toll charges.

On the Austrian A13 highway at the Luegbrücke bridge, temporary rules are in effect for motorhomes and caravans due to bridge repairs. The right lane is temporarily used as a passing lane for passenger cars but is prohibited for vehicles over 3.5 tons.

ASFINAG automatic scales detect overweight vehicles, after which police issue a fine of around €90. Offenders may also need to re-enter the section with an additional toll payment. The system separates traffic by weight due to the bridge's emergency condition.

On days with heavy traffic, the right lane is reserved for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, while the left lane is for heavier vehicles. Automatic scales on the right lane detect overloads.

€500 fine per person: fight against wild camping in the Slovenian Alps

From summer 2026, barriers will be installed on the Vršič Pass in the Julian Alps to regulate traffic. At the same time, local municipalities have increased penalties for wild camping: a fine of €500 per person. In Bohinj, motorhomes, campervans, and caravans are banned from forest roads year-round, and in July-August also from the Savica waterfall. At Lake Bled's central parking, motorhomes pay €3 per hour, and overnight stays are prohibited.

Camping in Carinthia: lakes, mountains and nature in southern Austria

Carinthia, in southern Austria near the Italian border, promotes camping as a nature-oriented holiday. The region has over 100 campsites and about 16,000 pitches for tents, motorhomes and caravans, plus glamping, cabins and apartments. Among more than 1,000 lakes, many are swimmable, with summer water temperatures exceeding 25 °C. Cycling routes, water sports and family activities are available. From Italy, Carinthia is reachable by car (about 2.5 hours from Venice), train or plane (from June 2026, flights from Rome to Klagenfurt).

Camping in Wechselland: tractor with caravan and Haflinger spotted at site

Irene Feldhofer, operator of 'Wechselland Camping Lorenza' in St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, regularly posts photos of unusual guests. Among them are a tractor towing a caravan, a Haflinger horse as a 'companion vehicle', and a Pinzgauer. The Joham family from Obdach travels with a car, trailer, roof tent, and ground tent; three people sleep in a 1.5-metre-wide roof tent. The campsite itself was built on the site of a former cattle shed, and its owners were nominated for the 'Vifzack 25' agricultural innovation award in 2025.
