Germany/Austria August/September information sharing.

[Drum Major]

We always find the Germans very helpful and always keen to speak we have enjoyed many a pleasant evening with them

 

[Chrisvh]

Came across on the tunnel on Sunday and headed straight for Monschau. Pleasant couple of days on Camping Jone Bur. Tuesday and Wednesday outside Bad Kreuznach on a winegut at Guidental. Been out on the bikes all day enjoying the local bike routes. Fantastic! Weather has been great, though due to break tonight. Tomorrow heading to the SP at Baden-Baden for a couple of nights. Only seen two MH from the UK. Lots of friendly Dutch & Germans. Great time!

Nordlingen. 15th Century medieval town

Nice town and very cheap Stellaplatz, I think it was free when we were there, we prefer it to Rothenburg.
When you get a bit further south you will be able to do some serious mountain walking. Walking in the Bavaria mountains you can always find a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere selling beer, what more could you need.

Hi we are currently in Germany heading towards Reil heading south. We have a problem with our electric step which we think is the running gear for dropping and raising. can anyone recommend a motorhome/caravan repair place in the area? I have found one on google in Saarland that seems good but wanted to check on here as well in case anyone can recommend. Thanks

I used Krawotec,Ruwerer Strasse 29,Trier last year when my pump packed up.Excellent service.Good waiting area with free coffee and biscuits.

Funny you should say that Lenny, that was our experience in 2014 with the exception the farm where we stayed had it's own bar.

If you've not been yet Lenny take a trip to the very bottom of Bavaria and Mittenwald. Fabulous town and mountain walk's to die for. NB You might have to pay to stay at the Stellaplatz.

Can Ventusky find anywhere dry after Wednesday I wonder.

Yep, down here.

We left Rothenburg this morning trying to make good progress north, but came to a halt in a long queue of stationary traffic on the A3, Wurzburg-Frankfurt. Fire, ( 8 x Appliances ), Police, Ambulance, and a Heli-Med chopper from ADAC were in attendance. 1 hour and 20 minutes later sees us on the move, passing the carnage of a curtain side cargo van, almost upside down on top of a black car, hence the multiple attendance.

We pulled into the P&R at Aachen by mid afternoon, and are just chilling out. We'll do the town bit on the bus tomorrow.
There are 4x MHs here, including 3 x Brits.

Cheers,

Jock.

I need some advice I’m fifty in October whilst we will be in Germany getting ready to leave on the 15th October to get our tunnel back to the uk.
I would like a location whilst we are in the motorhome to celebrate, it’s just myself and my husband but it would be nice to have a quality meal or a stunning location. This would be in the north west of Germany.
The full med cruise with family and friends has been put on hold till next October.
All suggestions would be appreciated.
we are probably going to be staying in Aachen on the 14th October.

as suavecarve said I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks

Monschau !!!!
Why didnt i think of this earlier ?????
Half hour from Aachen, really stunning town with an aire, shed loads of restaurants to choose from. No idea if they light the castle or rocks up at night though.

The only downside would be if it were your last night and travelling northwards you may miss out on Aachen and its cathedral. Supposed to be extremely good and i suspect Aachen is a good night out (walking around)

Where are you heading Phil and how long are you in Germany for?
We are heading for Germany after visiting our Belgium dealer next Tuesday, Train back home on 26th Oct.

We are booked into Camping Herzberg (Black Forest) arriving the 26th for 6 nights then a dash home. The weather on the 26th at Freisburg looks horrendous and not very good elsewhere so we will just tough it out. Looking forward to doing short walks and visiting town. Keep Safe Bud.

You occassionaly find a gem of a resturant that serves real food, around the lakes and near the coast lots of fish resturants.

I've had some wonderful steaks in Germany, served a fantastic butter/garlic sauce.

I suddenly feel the need for a night out.

It will really bug you when you pay to fill up & then find you have to pay again to dump.
