Motorhome tourists in Völklingen: mostly for the World Heritage site

A survey at two motorhome parking areas in Völklingen found that about 90% of guests come to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site Völklinger Hütte. The rest are transit travellers from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries, staying one or two nights. Among those interviewed were a couple from the Lower Rhine, two families from Fulda and a retired couple from Lübeck, who noted the contrast between the region and familiar vineyards, as well as the similarity of locals to people from the Ruhr area.

Camping tourism in Sauerland remains popular

Camping tourism in Sauerland has evolved from a trend into a permanent fixture, according to tourism experts. Demand is particularly high at campsites near the region's lakes, where visitors appreciate the chance to cool off quickly in the water. The region is actively expanding motorhome infrastructure: more towns and municipalities are offering equipped parking spaces with electricity and services. As of January 1, 2026, 3,739 motorhomes were registered in the Hochsauerland district, an increase of over 200 from the previous year, while across North Rhine-Westphalia the motorhome fleet grew by 7% to 211,800 units.
