Tents and motorhomes to be removed from Karadere beach on the Black Sea
Original source: bnrnews.bg

Authorities in Bulgaria inspected Karadere beach near Byala in Varna region and found nearly 1,000 motorhomes, campers and tents. Owners must remove their vehicles and tents by August 7, or face fines between 250 and 1,500 euros. The mayor of Byala issued a ban in April on setting up tents and motorhomes in the area, yet the 5-kilometer stretch of beach remains covered with them. The area includes dunes where placing structures is strictly prohibited, as is trampling or damaging plants.

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.

The civic association Kantara-2010 told a temporary environmental committee at Varna Municipal Council that about 60 caravans and campers remain on the Varna municipality side of the Pasha Dere area, while removal actions have begun on the Avren municipality side. According to coordinator Katya Kircheva, after the regional governor's order, police, forestry, fire and regional administration representatives visited the Avren side, explained required actions to owners, and caravans began leaving. An interagency inspection in August found more than 50 caravans, canopies, tents and cars in the forest fund above the Pasha Dere beach, and seven caravans in forest territory plus one more at Liman on the Avren side. Kantara-2010 plans to seek support at the ministerial level and, if unsuccessful, to raise the issue with European institutions.

The Varna Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water (RIOSV) has identified violations of environmental legislation during inspections of caravans, campers and temporary structures near Pasha Dere. The inspections took place in August 2026 in the coastal area of Pasha Dere beach (village of Bliznatsi, Avren municipality) and in the Asparuhovo district of Varna. The number and type of violations were not specified; authorities are taking steps to identify those responsible. The checks followed a large-scale operation in which more than 50 caravans, tents, canopies and vehicles were found in the forest fund above the beach, with notices for voluntary removal issued by 23 August.

A camper towing a trailer overturned after being hit from the side by a truck in central Haskovo. The crash occurred around 2:15 p.m. at the intersection of Bulgaria and Osvobozhdenie boulevards. The Renault truck, with Ruse license plates, failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the camper, which had the right of way. No injuries were reported; both drivers tested negative for alcohol. Traffic was disrupted for about an hour until the camper was righted and loaded onto a flatbed.

The regional administration in Lovech has announced steps to remove all illegal structures near the Sopot Reservoir. An inspection found violations involving unauthorized construction and placement of caravans in the reservoir's basin. Administrative and practical procedures will follow the analysis of the results. The reservoir is located near the village of Golyama Zhelyazna, about 30 km northwest of Troyan.
