Investors reveal plans for controversial campsite at Bachtelweiher

Investors have presented details for a planned motorhome and tent campsite at the Bachtelweiher lake in Kempten. The project, which includes a guest house and a mini-golf course, has faced criticism from local residents over potential noise, traffic, and strain on the natural environment. Opponents launched a petition against the scale of the development nearly a month ago.

"Many cried": Disbelief after permanent camping debacle

The Karlstein municipal council terminated all 360 permanent plots at the Weißsee lake in Großwelzheim, Bavaria, in August 2025, giving occupants until March 2026 to vacate. The decision, citing a need for 2.4 million euros to address critical safety issues in the aging infrastructure, has sparked protests and the formation of a citizens' initiative. While a similar scenario is not currently anticipated at the Mainflinger Badesee in Hessen, the situation is being closely monitored following a comparable termination in Wörth am Main.

The all-wheel-drive Hyundai Ioniq 9 with a 110 kWh battery delivers 428 hp and can tow a 2.5-tonne trailer. In a test with a two-tonne caravan, acceleration from 80 to 100 km/h took 3.2 seconds, energy consumption was 41.5 kWh per 100 km.
