German Ari Motors unveils one of Europe's smallest electric campervans

In Preetz (Schleswig-Holstein), a camper park is popular among tourists from Hamburg. The park offers fresh water, electricity, sanitary facilities, canoe and bike rentals, and a restaurant. According to stellplatz.info, the site has a rating of 4.7 out of 5. Preetz, known as the 'shoemaker town,' serves as a base for exploring Holstein Switzerland and the Schwentine river.

On the evening of May 29 or 30, 2026, a major fire broke out in Burscheid (North Rhine-Westphalia), starting from a car fire. Several caravans, motorhomes, and cars were destroyed, and gas cylinders exploded. Two firefighters suffered heat exhaustion.

A motorhome overturned on the A2 motorway near Burg, Saxony-Anhalt. The 64-year-old driver and his 63-year-old passenger, both Dutch nationals, sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Leipzig is emerging as a more attractive destination for motorhome travel than Berlin, due to its compactness, affordability, and developed infrastructure. The city offers numerous free attractions, including museums with free admission since 2024, and convenient motorhome parking on the outskirts.

Two motorhomes worth a total of around €110,000 were stolen in Erfurt over two days. The original keys remained with the owners, indicating professional perpetrators. A series of thefts and break-ins also affected Lower Saxony and Hesse, where intruders entered motorhomes through windows. Police are investigating possible links to an organized group.

Nearly 100,000 campers voted in a Eurocamping portal survey to determine Europe's top campsites. Two Bavarian sites — Arterhof (Best Campsites category) and Marktler Badesee (Small & Fine category) — were among the winners. A total of 36 campsites across Europe received awards, including locations in Norway, Spain, and Sweden.
