Plans for a 20-vehicle motorhome site in Stapel

The municipality of Amt Neuhaus (Germany) is considering a project to create a new motorhome parking area in the Stapel district. The site, previously used as a sports field and kindergarten, could accommodate 15–20 motorhomes and possibly a few tiny houses. Project initiator Thomas Frank presented the concept to the local tourism committee. Funding may come through the Leader program, requiring the municipality to determine its own contribution.
