Some images and stopovers 2010-2019
After various posts on "www.wildcamping.co.uk" I choose to show our favourites !
I organise by countries...
A - Austria. We travelled through Austria 2x in 2014 to and from Hungary and again coming back from Italy in 2018.
Austria is lovely but campsites are not cheap..but we managed.
In sequence
2014 Heiterwang - Nice traditional hotel with Motorhome facilities.
2014 Maria Alm - Farm
2014 Vordenberg Iron Mountain - Nice but noisy
2014 Rosenbach hotel with motorhome facilities near here.
2018 Gschnitz - Just parking but simply delightful.

B - Belgium. I think most simply pass through, many nice towns and a good selection of aires !
No 1 Grobbendonk (aire).This is just a short walk from a very nice town. The aire is large and airy, with good facilities and unlikely to be full but maybe all EHU outlets used. We stopped here twice in 2016 (to and from Denmark) and again in 2019. Just east of Antwerp and traffic permitting an easy drive to the French border and even Calais. Other places
Wingene (near Gent) Small aire linked to the business. Very good with pleasant rural views. (2019)
Thieu (by the canal) Pleasant spot no facilities but OK+. Interesting canal history and boatlift.
Peruwelz Boatyard with pub EHU OK and shopping nearby.

Mezni Louka near the Arch
Prague We stayed in a Restaurant car-park easy access 1 tram
Jindris & the Railway
Ceske Budejovice Lovely
Cesky Krumlov Even better. A world heritage site

D - Denmark. Part of our Grand tour of Scandinavia in 2016.
Going out, we chose to drive through Denmark (west side) to Hirtsals. Just a few stopovers
Ribe An excellent town, maybe the oldest in Denmark. It was a national holiday and so we were treated to a parade !
Esbjerg A small carpark amonst the dunes..Nice but windy 1
Fly (Skive) A farm with a lovely dog, Goats and other animals but "smelly cows"
Hurup Thy A renewable energy centre. Excellent and wi-fi
Hirtsals A handy garage (for the port) with facilities and a shop
Then on the way back
Vaerlose . Nice museum with overnight parking tolerated (suggest 1 night only)

F Finland
Not great but interesting.
Lots of Rudolfs and mosquitos ! Easy driving and some very good stopovers. The goldtown of ? was very good.
Many of the camping spots had a BBQ hut and fuel.

F - France 1 tour and several "en-route's"
Where do you start or indeed finish. Our first trip was to Paris "Bois de Boulogne" campsite (not the nightlife !). A week there with the "go everywhere RER pass" Campsite poor for its price but handy. I will not post any "Paris images"
2013 having retired in February we did a medium tour. Initially the Burgundy area then the Auvergne, the Dordogne, north to the Loire valley, Brittany, Normandy finally Calais and home. Too much travelling and learning. No real hassle, some lovely places.
2015 Simply the Vosges and Jura.Very nice and relaxing
2018 On the way to Italy..We take our time
2019 On the way to Switzerland
