Irene Feldhofer, operator of 'Wechselland Camping Lorenza' in St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, regularly posts photos of unusual guests. Among them are a tractor towing a caravan, a Haflinger horse as a 'companion vehicle', and a Pinzgauer. The Joham family from Obdach travels with a car, trailer, roof tent, and ground tent; three people sleep in a 1.5-metre-wide roof tent. The campsite itself was built on the site of a former cattle shed, and its owners were nominated for the 'Vifzack 25' agricultural innovation award in 2025.
