German publication IMTEST tested five compact camper vans ranging from 5.4 to 6 meters in length. The Forster, Hymer, Sunlight, Volkswagen, and Weinsberg models were evaluated for living comfort, equipment, and road handling during a multi-day camping trip.
IMTEST tested the Weinsberg CaraTour 600 ME camper van based on the Fiat Ducato. The test vehicle priced at 72,348 euros is 599 cm long, weighs 2820 kg, and has sleeping for four, but the review noted shortcomings: a cramped dinette and noise from electronics under the bed.
German manufacturer Knaus Tabbert has introduced the compact camper van Weinsberg CaraTour 600 ME, based on a Fiat Ducato. Testing revealed both strengths, such as a well-thought-out layout and good road stability, and weaknesses, including a cramped dinette, noise from electronics, and the lack of a rearview camera as standard. The test vehicle was priced at 72,348 euros.
Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group (FMTG) and Stadtwerke Klagenfurt have officially opened the modernized Falkensteiner Camping Wörthersee campsite at Metnitzstrand. Around 3 million euros were invested in the site's renovation, including a new reception building and the CAMPO restaurant. Further expansion steps are planned. FMTG operates six campsites in Austria and Croatia and aims to develop the site into a leading camping destination in the Alps-Adriatic region.
The Johann family from Germany is spending their holiday in Tulln for the second time, appreciating the cycling routes and swimming opportunities. The town attracts visitors with its mix of nature, culture, and active recreation, as well as its proximity to Vienna and wine regions.
A Der Standard forum user said they bought a new caravan and are considering renting out their old one (1990 model) via Paulcamper.at. They noted the technical condition and documents are fine, but there are cosmetic damages due to age.
Auto Zeitung tested towing the Fendt Bianco caravan (weighing nearly 1.4 t) with a BMW X3 (about 400 hp) on Tyrolean roads. The route ran from the Ötztal valley to the Kühtai saddle (2020 m) and back towards Innsbruck. Towing requires getting used to the dimensions, but assistance systems such as the Truma Smart A mover (optional, €2,158) make maneuvering easier. The caravan offers more living space than a motorhome, and the tow car remains available for independent trips.
The Austrian Constitutional Court has ruled that the controversial zoning for a luxury campsite in Hinterstoder (Kirchdorf district) is lawful. The resort opened last year. Community lawyer Berthold Lindner said the court confirmed the municipal council's decision, which weighed both tourism benefits and potential environmental drawbacks. The campsite can remain, and Lindner stated that a successful challenge to the building permit is unlikely.
