Original source: t-online – Braunschweig

In Brief

Wildwood Camping Harz near Clausthal-Zellerfeld reopened on March 20 after modernization. The 4.5-hectare site offers 210 pitches for motorhomes and tents, plus 14 cabins. The campsite markets itself as "Little Canada" and provides access to forests and waters of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Upper Harz Water Management System."

In Saxony-Anhalt, several campsites operate year-round, offering lower prices and fewer tourists in winter. For example, at See- und Waldresort Gröbern, the nightly rate for two people is about 25 euros, and Harz-Camp Bremer Teich bans fireworks, attracting dog owners. Many sites reduce services in winter, and gas is recommended for heating due to electricity restrictions.

Multi-vehicle crash on A9 in southern Thuringia: motorhome hits minibus with children

On Saturday evening on the A9 near southern Thuringia, a motorhome driver failed to notice the end of a traffic jam and collided with several vehicles. Nine people were injured, one seriously. Nine vehicles were damaged, including two minibuses carrying 11 children with high support needs and eight caregivers returning from Austria. The jam was caused by a horse trailer overturning on the opposite carriageway 40 minutes earlier. Damage is estimated at €350,000; the motorway was closed for 5.5 hours.
