Caravan settlement in Graz allowed to stay temporarily

In the Weinzödl district of Graz, near the GAK training center, about 20 caravans have been set up on a meadow by the Mur River. A group of Roma has been there for over a week. Police confirmed the camp is permitted while one of the children receives hospital care. Graz has not issued a local ordinance banning illegal camping, so the settlement is not prohibited.

Festival Camping Tips: Tent, Sleep, and Equipment

The Austrian Camping Club (ÖCC) has published recommendations for festival-goers without camping experience. For comfortable sleep, it recommends using a caravan or a small camper van, which provide protection from weather and secure storage. For occasional campers, igloo tents are suitable due to quick setup. Attention should be paid to the tent's water column and a PVC sheet under the floor to prevent moisture. Essential items include wet wipes, disinfectants, flashlights, power banks, and earplugs.

Carpenter from Stubenberg converts camper van: sleeping and dining with 170 hp

Carpenter Hannes Derler from Stubenberg spent three years converting a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter into a camper van. The 7-meter-long, 2.11-meter-wide, and 2.6-meter-high vehicle features a fold-down bed, kitchen with induction hob, and bathroom with shower and toilet. Heating and cooking run on diesel, not gas. The van is listed for €115,000 but remains unsold, which Derler attributes to the resumption of air travel. The company 'Steirervan' in Hartberg reports sustained demand for custom solutions, particularly for off-grid systems and anti-theft protection.
