Camping in Wechselland: tractor with caravan and Haflinger spotted at site

Irene Feldhofer, operator of 'Wechselland Camping Lorenza' in St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, regularly posts photos of unusual guests. Among them are a tractor towing a caravan, a Haflinger horse as a 'companion vehicle', and a Pinzgauer. The Joham family from Obdach travels with a car, trailer, roof tent, and ground tent; three people sleep in a 1.5-metre-wide roof tent. The campsite itself was built on the site of a former cattle shed, and its owners were nominated for the 'Vifzack 25' agricultural innovation award in 2025.

Multi-vehicle crash on Austria's A1 highway: truck, motorhome and bus involved

On May 13 or 14, 2026, a multi-vehicle collision occurred on the A1 highway in Austria between the Traun exit and Ansfelden station towards Vienna, involving a car, a truck, a motorhome and a scheduled bus. According to police, the accident was caused by a car braking sharply in front of the truck; the truck's emergency braking system stopped it, but the following motorhome and bus could not react in time. Reports indicate 14 or 15 injuries, with three serious (the motorhome driver, his wife and one passenger) and the rest minor. Traffic towards Vienna was fully closed from 16:55 to 18:20.

Motorhome fully engulfed in flames on Austria's A9 motorway

On June 27, 2026, a three-axle motorhome caught fire while driving on the A9 Pyhrn Autobahn in Styria, Austria, for reasons still unknown. The driver managed to pull over onto the hard shoulder, and both occupants and their two dogs escaped unharmed. The fire was spotted by a police helicopter crew, who alerted emergency services. By the time firefighters arrived, the vehicle was fully ablaze. Crews used foam and a thermal imaging camera to extinguish the fire, which also spread to the roadside embankment. Traffic towards Linz was temporarily closed; the operation lasted about 90 minutes.
