Motorhome owners on the Moselle complain about jet ski noise

At the campsite in Lösnich (Moselle, Germany), motorhome owners faced systematic noise and dangerous maneuvers from jet skis. According to campsite cashier Carolin Müller, some guests left due to unbearable noise lasting from morning to evening, Friday through Sunday. The Trier water police acknowledge the difficulty of catching offenders: their large vessels are visible from afar, and the quality of amateur videos often fails to identify license plates or faces. In response, police have increased patrols by car along the shore and use radar to record speed violations and dangerous maneuvers.

Specialized navigation apps for motorhomes, motorcycles, and bicycles

Standard navigation apps like Google Maps do not account for the specific needs of motorhomes, motorcycles, bicycles, or public transport. Specialized apps address these requirements. For motorhome owners, park4night helps find overnight parking, including campsites and free spots, with filtering by services. Motorcyclists can use Calimoto to find routes with more curves and fewer traffic lights. Bikemap for cyclists prioritizes bike paths and shows e-bike charging stations. For watercraft, Canua provides data on over 5,000 navigable waterways in Europe with navigation rules. Citymapper for public transport advises which car to board for faster transfers and alerts about delays.
