In Brief

The municipality of Bruneck in South Tyrol plans to build a campsite with 250 pitches and 30 chalets, costing 30 million euros, to address illegal camper van parking. Critics warn of 800 additional daily traffic movements.

The municipality of Bruneck in South Tyrol plans to build a campsite with 250 pitches and 30 luxury chalets in the Reischach area. The 30-million-euro project is being carried out by Kronplatz Seilbahn GmbH. It aims to reduce the number of camper vans that illegally occupy parking spaces and leave rubbish.

Critics, including local Greens, point out that a facility of this scale could generate up to 800 additional traffic movements per day in a region already suffering from overtourism.
