A new camping law is set to take effect in Burgenland on 1 January, aiming to make camping simpler and more attractive. The law is currently under review. In summer, camping accounts for more than one fifth of all overnight stays in the region. The law introduces more flexibility and less bureaucracy for new camping forms, including glamping and stays in mobile homes, which can occupy up to 35% of pitch area. Micro-camping on agricultural land, such as at wineries, will also be permitted, with up to five pitches or for a maximum of ten people staying no longer than one week.

Gerhard Ofner from Gmunden, Austria, has built a bicycle caravan weighing 30–40 kg and is on its first test trip. The 65-year-old former Austrian Federal Railways employee is travelling from Gmunden to Uttendorf for a meeting of former ÖBB construction managers; the route is 192 km. The trailer is equipped with a solar panel for interior and exterior lighting and phone charging, and is propelled solely by muscle power. On the first day, Ofner covered the distance from Gmunden to Hallein in eight hours with a short stop at Mondsee. If the test succeeds, he plans a trip to Spain.

Viennese mechanical engineer Andreas Janisch develops and sells safety and comfort solutions for motorhomes and camper vans under the WOMOFIX brand. More than 10,000 customers already use WOMOFIX products, and a network of over 70 installation partners across Europe provides fitting and advice. In 2026, JANSTAHL GmbH was founded in Vienna as the new corporate base for further development, with existing activities gradually being transferred from the sole proprietorship.

On Saturday, a collision involving a car towing a caravan occurred on the B18 in Lower Austria between Hirtenberg and St. Veit an der Triesting. The car, registered in Poland, carried four people — parents and two children — who were unharmed despite severe front-end damage. Two people in the caravan were injured and taken by Red Cross ambulances to nearby hospitals. The road was fully closed in both directions for about an hour and a half; the Leobersdorf fire brigade used a hookloader crane to assist with recovery, and police deployed a drone for accident mapping.
