Motorhome holidays in Denmark: where wild camping causes trouble
Original source: nordschleswiger

Wild camping with motorhomes in Denmark repeatedly leads to conflicts between travellers and residents. At Aabenraa Fjord, up to ten motorhomes a day used a small car park as a free overnight spot, causing litter and annoyance among locals. Police distinguish between permitted 'resting' and prohibited 'camping' – setting up an awning, chairs or a table can result in a fine.

Overtourism in Scandinavia: Real Problem or Media Hype?

Scandinavia experts debunk the myth of the region being completely overcrowded. The issue is the concentration of tourists in a few popular hotspots during peak season, while vast areas remain empty. Key advice includes avoiding hyped locations, using verified apps to find parking spots, and respecting local rules, especially regarding the right of public access, which does not apply to motor vehicles.

75-year-old stopped in motorhome with knife and drugs in Denmark

On Thursday evening at around 23:40, police in Rødbyhavn stopped a British motorhome that had just disembarked from a ferry. The cabin smelled of hashish, and a drug test showed the 75-year-old driver was under the influence of THC. During a search, officers found a knife tucked into his belt and nearly 16 grams of cannabis. The man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, violating the knife law, and the controlled substances act. The Danish Immigration Service will decide whether he should be deported.
