New law to simplify camping in Burgenland

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.

Pensioner from Gmunden builds bicycle caravan and tests it in Salzburg

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.

Incidents AT Austria

Caravan trailer crash in Lower Austria leaves two injured

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.
