Route description for South Tyrol tour June 2022


South Tyrol tour June 2022

We were already planning a tour through South Tyrol in 2019. This intention was abruptly stopped by Corona in spring 2020. Instead of going on a trip in 2020, we tried to only leave the apartment if absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, we hoped that we could at least go on holiday in the motorhome nearby, which only happened towards the summer. However, South Tyrol had to wait due to the different travel restrictions. There was nothing in 2021 either. That's when the Delta variant appeared, followed by Omicron in the fall. In June 2022 the time had come and the journey could begin. What we didn't take into account was that Corpus Christi will be celebrated in Catholic regions in the first week and that many will probably build a bridge and be out and about in their motorhomes.

Day

Zürich, Schweiz

☍ 410,0 km (4 hrs. 18 min.)


Bozen, Stellplatz beim Friedhof

The parking space offers space for approx. 20 vehicles.

The cost is €1 per hour between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Electricity is available and costs €0.25 per hour (24 hours/day).


We first wanted to book a spot at Camping Mossbauer, but the spot was fully booked. The Steiner square in Leifers had already put up a notice stating that it was fully occupied.


The parking space was an emergency solution with the advantage of the bus stop right next to it with direct buses to Bolzano train station. The disadvantage is the noise from the street and train line and the lack of shade.

Klausen, Autonome Provinz Bozen - Südtirol, Italien

We actually wanted to spend a few days in Seis/Seiser Alm. But here too, all places are fully booked. I therefore reserved a place for 4 nights in Dobbiaco by phone so that we would have really safe accommodation options.


We are now going straight to Klausen.


There are two parking areas in Klausen. In the south there are rather small parking spaces, in the north there is a large parking lot that even has fields for buses.


At the tourist information center we get the guide to buildings worth seeing and walk around them. The city essentially consists of one main street and in some places
still from a side street. The main street is very picturesque. A stay of 1..2 hours is definitely worth it.

Brixen, Autonome Provinz Bozen - Südtirol, Italien

As always, when visiting cities, there is the question of a suitable parking space for the motorhome. In Brixen we parked the motorhome in the parking lot 46.70625, 11.65045. We found one last place on the edge in a kind of wasteland. From here we hiked to the center, which starts around 1 km north.


The following places were on our sightseeing tour


The Hofburg with the Herrengarten
The baroque cathedral square with the cathedral and the cloister
The old town and Stagels on the other side of the river

The Great Lauben (lunch)


For the way back we chose the hiking trail along the Eisack River

A nice place with friendly staff and very good sanitary facilities. The bus stop is right in front of the campsite.

Day


Camping AL PLAN - Dolomites

The site is modern and for the first time in our camping history we saw in the sanitary track that the shower cubicles were divided into two by a glass door to prevent our shoes from getting wet.

The terracing was created artificially and does not allow pegs to penetrate into the ground. Otherwise, the place offers a great view and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Corvara in Badia, Autonome Provinz Bozen - Südtirol, Italien

From St. Vigil the journey takes us first down into the valley and then down the valley in a southerly direction to Badia and Corvara.

From Corvara the road climbs to the Campolongo Pass and offers a great view of the Dolomite peaks in the first bends.

Pordoijoch, Belluno, Italien

The Pordoi Pass seems to be made exclusively for cyclists. Where elsewhere most cyclists are found on e-bikes, here the majority are on racing bikes. Some of them cycle confidently, others with red faces.

We drive up in the motorhome and have to see how we can get space between the cyclists.

At the top the view is phenomenal. You can see all the way to the Marmolada, which hit the headlines a good week later due to a glacier collapse. The cable car to Sass Pordoi is also spectacular.

Viktor's Imbiss

After the inns were either closed everywhere or there were no parking spaces available for mobile homes, Viktor's Imbiss came in handy. With its huge parking space behind the house and its immense catering capacity, the restaurant is ideal for motorhome drivers.

Camping Gretl am See

We reach the campsite and hope for a place within the campsite. We didn't make a reservation. We get a good place for one night.

Since it is very hot, we are in the lake after a short time and can refresh ourselves. Getting in amongst 50cm long carp takes some getting used to. But they leave you alone.

In the evening, several thunderstorms broke out and hailstones the diameter of one or even two euro coins thundered onto campers and tents.

Luckily no one was hurt, but a tent next to us was destroyed.
