Original source: inFranken.de

In Brief

Demand for camping over Whitsun (23–28 May 2026) is growing faster than the summer season. In Germany, Sauerland is 57% booked, Eifel 39%, but spots remain in the Black Forest, North Sea, and other regions.

According to PiNCAMP, the share of Whitsun bookings in total annual volume rose from 9% in 2024 to 12% in 2025, and the trend continues in 2026. As of 13 April 2026, some European regions still have over 80% availability, while popular destinations like Zeeland (Netherlands) and Cavallino (Italy) are already 46–50% booked.

In Germany, the most booked areas are Sauerland (57%) and Eifel (39%). In Bavaria, campsites are 24% booked, while Franconia still has vacancies. Free spots are also available in the Black Forest, North Sea, Mecklenburg Lake District, Switzerland, southern Sweden, and Provence.

Before travelling, check the technical condition of your motorhome or caravan, including tyres, brakes, fluids, water system, and gas equipment.

Revised industry standard 'Small Building' published Law & Regulations © lifepr.de

Revised industry standard 'Small Building' published

The Tiny House Association has published the revised industry standard 'Small Building' (June 2026 edition). The guideline, known as the 'Tiny House Standard', describes the current state of the art for planning, manufacturing and evaluating small buildings. The main innovation is the division into two parts: Part 1 covers requirements for construction, technical building equipment, product ecology and conformity assessment; Part 2 covers living quality, indoor air hygiene and building biology requirements. Manufacturers can check product compliance during the planning phase, reducing later adjustments and costs. New definitions for modular houses and series construction have been added; for series products, conformity assessment can be based on a representative sample. The standard includes differentiated requirements for the energy assessment of transportable small buildings. It is available in print and PDF for EUR 69.
