Original source: Telegraph.bg

Inspectors from Varna regional administration, the environmental agency and the forestry authority found dozens of caravans parked on the dunes, sand and green areas of Kara Dere beach. Some owners removed license plates to avoid identification; others received fines ranging from €250 to €1,500. The beach is state property and a nature tourism zone where camping is banned. If owners do not remove their structures by August 7, forced removal will begin at their expense.

The Italian province of Trentino is introducing new parking restrictions for motorhomes and camper vans on Dolomite mountain passes. From 2026, parking along the Sella and Pordoi passes will be limited to short stays with parking discs or tickets to curb illegal camping and mass tourism. The move follows summer 2025 data showing over half of parking spots on some sections were occupied overnight.

The German motorhome manufacturer Knaus Tabbert AG has accepted a fine exceeding six million euros from the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office. The penalty was imposed because the company had understated the weight of its motorhomes, a practice linked to the popular 3.5-tonne limit for standard driver's licenses. The company has made financial provisions for the fine, stating the payment will not significantly impact its annual results.
