Digital Detox in Family Camping: Media Checklist and Tips
Original source: adac.de

ADAC has published a guide on digital detox for families traveling in motorhomes or glamping accommodations. The article suggests signing a family 'media contract' limiting screen time to 30–60 minutes per day, designating phone-free zones (meals, bedtime, excursions), and leaving children's personal devices, game consoles, and work laptops at home. Smartphones should be used only for navigation, weather, and photos, with offline maps and entertainment downloaded in advance.

Planning Family Camping: The Big Preparation Checklist

ADAC has published a guide on planning family camping trips. The article covers key stages: choosing travel time and region, deciding on accommodation type (tent, motorhome, caravan, or glamping), selecting a family-friendly campsite with amenities like playgrounds and animation, budgeting (including hidden costs like electricity and tourist tax), preparing documents and insurance, and packing gear. Emphasis is placed on timing: booking is recommended 3–6 months in advance, especially for peak seasons.

Augsburg to ban trailers and motorhomes on P+R lots

The city of Augsburg plans to allow only passenger cars on three Park-and-Ride lots: Hammerschmiede, Inninger Straße, and Augsburg Nord/Oberhausen. The reason is that these spaces are increasingly occupied by long-term parkers, motorhomes, and trailers, limiting parking for commuters. A traffic law partial withdrawal procedure has been initiated to enforce the ban.
