Anniversary Spring Festival at Eder Wohnmobile & Wohnwagen in Bad Urach

The tested Subaru Forester 2.0ie (2026) showed limited suitability for towing a caravan. It has a 136 hp petrol engine with CVT and electric motor, all-wheel drive, and 22 cm ground clearance. Weak acceleration, fuel consumption of 13.9 L/100 km while towing, and a small 48-litre tank reduce range. The 1200-euro towbar allows towing up to 1870 kg.

In Stade, the access road to the motorhome site at Schiffertor has been completely renovated after repeated guest complaints about potholes and water accumulation. Operator SMTG paved the area and installed new drainage pipes. Work began in November 2025 and was completed in time for the season despite frost delays. The site remained open during construction. In 2025, the 79-space site set a record with 18,635 vehicle overnight stays.

Ulrike Behmer from Dorsten cooks in her caravan without using canned food. She runs the blog 'Kochjunkie auf Reisen', where she shares recipes for caravan travel.

On 24 April, on the A3 motorway near the Wiesbaden interchange, a camper van rear-ended a car due to inattention, triggering a five-vehicle collision. Main lanes were fully closed, causing an 8 km traffic jam. Two people were taken to hospital; damage estimated at €90,000.

The Wasserburg municipal council approved the development plan for a special area for motorhomes and equestrian sports. The project includes an equestrian facility with a 48-space motorhome parking area on land previously used for orchards. A maximum of three tournaments per year (six days) is stipulated, and a mandatory booking system will reduce traffic. Construction starts in autumn, with opening planned for spring 2027.

A campsite in Frankfurt-Heddernheim has been closed for three years; its reopening is unlikely due to the renaturation of the Urselbach stream and flood protection requirements. The municipal part has been returned to nature, while the private portion is up for sale.
