Route description for Spring at Lake Caldonazzo and in Tuscany

As always, a great stopover on our journey south. With a bit of luck, we managed to find a nice spot around midday—unfortunately, without electricity.

Nordheim is also ideal for a longer stay. Its wonderful location amidst vineyards invites you to enjoy long bike rides. A stop at one of the cozy wine taverns or a rustic inn rounds off any day.

Pitch costs € 12.00/night plus electricity.

Biberhof campsite

Schmitte 8, 6633 Biberwier

The place is quietly located and is ideal for a stopover on the way south.

The entire complex was somewhat neglected,

However, we had a very pleasant pitch. The sanitary building was very clean and well heated.

Costs with ACSI card € 90.00 for 3 days including tourist tax and environmental contribution.

There are many opportunities to explore the region by bike. Ehrwald, Lermoos, and various lakes are all worth a visit. The Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena offers hikes of varying difficulty levels.

With the guest card you can use the local buses for free.

The surrounding mountains are impressive and the cycle paths in the valley are easy to ride.

An apple strudel with cream at THEOS in Ehrwald was delicious!

Nesselwang welcomes us with sunshine. The campsite below the Alpspitzbahn cable car is one of the top spots in Germany.

The tranquil village is within walking distance, and several cafés and restaurants invite you to visit.

Pitch costs €17.00/night plus electricity.

Camping Riviera, Viale venezia 10

The site is well-maintained, and the restrooms are clean and tidy. We already know the facility from last year.

A visit to the attached restaurant Riviera is recommended,

The ice cream at Gelateria Bellavista is divine!

Separated from the lake only by a quiet road, a promenade runs directly along the unspoiled shore, ideal for walks with the dog.

We arrived around midday in pouring rain. The second day was sunny, allowing us to take longer walks.

A bike ride through the apple orchards to Levico Terme is always on the agenda. The small Lake Levico attracts many day visitors in warm weather.

A bike ride towards San Cristoforo and Pergine Valsugana is also a good option.

Costs €115.00 with ACSI card plus €15.00 tourist tax

The Sparafucile campsite is located in a park-like area and offers electricity, toilets and showers.

Cost €26.50 - not exactly cheap.

The culturally rich city in Lombardy can be reached on foot or by bike via excellent routes.

We really enjoyed it here. The city is

It's pleasantly laid-back and not too touristy. Beautiful squares with inviting cafés and restaurants are worth a visit.

In addition to the Ducal Palace and the Cathedral, a visit to the Palazzo Ducale and its museum is worthwhile. A boat trip on the Minicio River and the adjacent lakes is also recommended.

Agriturismo Ai Linchi,

Via del Caporale, Lucca

A wonderful little campsite about 5 km outside of Lucca, surrounded by countryside. We were here last year.

The site offers clean toilets and showers and is surrounded by vineyards and beautiful scenery.

We set off for Lucca by bike. On foot, we stroll through the alleys, visiting the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, the Guinigi Tower, the cathedral, the Church of San Michele, and the magnificent wall that surrounds the entire old town.

Cost for 2 nights € 87.00.

La Cantina del vino - located on a winery.

We have discovered another little gem!

The campsite is located below the ancient town of Barga and boasts well-maintained pitches, clean restrooms, and showers. Wine tastings are held on certain days. Of course, you can also purchase wine and other delicacies in the small shop.

We reach the hilltop town on foot, which gives us a somewhat sleepy impression. We were expecting a bit more flair, but the view is definitely amazing.

Apparently, today is an Italian holiday, so the shops are closed. However, the small ice cream parlor is open, and the ice cream is delicious.

Pitch costs € 15.00 + electricity € 5.00 + € 3.00 for the dog plus tourist tax € 2.00.

Camping Valle Gaia, Via Cecinese 87

Beautifully situated between Cecina

and Casale Marittimo.

The site is well-maintained and has good, clean restroom facilities. The pitches are spacious and surrounded by hedges. We have a very sunny spot in the upper area, No. 335.

Costs with ACSI Card € 19.00/day plus tourist tax.

Day 1: Bike tour to Casale Marittimo, about 5 km away, along quiet roads. Stunning views, olive groves, cypresses, and umbrella pines line the route. A charming little

Location!

Camping Maremma Sans Souci

Location Casa Mora

The campsite is very spacious, and all pitches are located under pine trees. This is certainly good for the hot summer months, but it felt a bit dark during our visit. There are several restrooms scattered throughout the complex, which are only superficially clean.

By bike we reach Castiglione after about 4 km on decent cycle paths along the road.

We quite like the little town; there is a long beach promenade lined with bars.

In the town itself there is a lively pedestrian zone, nice little shops, restaurants and a few ice cream parlors.

The old town above, with its beautiful views over the bay and the remains of the old castle walls, is beautifully situated. We're absolutely thrilled!

Our campsite is located directly on the beach, which also has sun loungers and parasols.

Costs € 69.00/3 nights including tourist tax

Parking space L'Aveare dei Pinzi

The town of Saturnia is famous for its hot thermal springs, so the campsite is always well attended on weekends.

One night, including electricity and tourist tax, costs €20.00. Restrooms and showers are available.

In the evening you can order pizza, which is delivered from the town - delicious.

After a walk, we explore the small town of Saturnia and drink an Aperol Spritz in a bar.

A visit to the thermal springs is definitely worth seeing and is free of charge.

We were lucky to find a parking space in the old town of Pitigliano, without any overnight accommodation.

The road to the medieval town itself is impressive and impressive. Traffic winds its way up the hill in sharp bends.

Along the way, there's an opportunity to stop for a photo. The whole place is picturesque, and I can hardly put the camera down. Unfortunately, the weather isn't great.

We endure a rain shower in a bar with cappuccino and delicious cakes.

I Chiari, Viadel Lago, 28 Acquaviva di Montepulciano

"Rural, comfortable, quiet location" – that was the description! Unfortunately, the entire site was very neglected. The restrooms also didn't make a good impression. For €30.00 per night off-season plus tourist tax, we expected more. We cannot recommend this campsite!

We stayed here once so we could visit Montepulciano the next morning. We parked in the large Nenni parking lot below the old town.

Costs € 5.00 for up to 6 hours.

The town of Montepulciano is especially known for its wine “Vino Nobile”.

It rains almost the entire time we're walking. I don't really like the city, as we constantly have to dodge the traffic snaking its way through the narrow streets.

We enjoy a coffee break in the traditional café “Antico Poliziano” .

Fattoria “La Vialla”

This winery with its farm shop and its own production of various specialties has now gained a good reputation in Germany.

Luckily we had pre-booked our pitch because when we arrived around 3 p.m. the motorhome site was full!

Wonderfully rustic food in the bodega – menu €13.00 per person. Accompanied by a good red wine – what more could you want!

Shopping in the shop - not cheap but excellent products.

The parking space is free!

Camping “La Montagnola”

Only 2 stars but well run and clean.

We were here last year.

We'll take the bus to Siena , about 14 km away. The ticket costs €11.60 for two people. Bus tickets are available at reception.

Siena is a beautiful, impressive city.

The Piazza del Campo, the magnificent cathedral with its confectionery facade, the Fartezza Medicea with magnificent views of the city. And the glorious sunshine – simply magnificent!

During a stroll through the small town of Sovicille, we discover photographic art in the historic center. Absolutely fascinating.

Area Camper La Posta, Via Cassia Nord 142

Unfortunately, we miss the entrance to this overnight spot and end up in the parking lot directly below the small town of Monteriggioni , "Area del Cipressino." Parking costs €3.50.

It's Sunday, and many Italians are visiting the pretty historic village, enclosed by city walls. The main square in front of the church is bustling with activity. A stroll through this truly beautiful town takes place in glorious sunshine.

We spend the night at the “Area Sosta Parco Il Poggione” campsite in San Casciano/Val di Pesa.

Only one parking lot, unkempt but free.

The Eichenwald campsite in Stams is a good place to stop overnight while passing through. There are several permanent campers and terraced pitches not far from the small town.

The showers and toilets are fine and clean but a bit outdated.

The Cistercian monastery with its basilica and orangery is very beautiful, although it is not open every day.

There is a shopping opportunity at the local Spar supermarket.

Cost for 1 night € 34,00 with ACSI card

including tourist tax and environmental tax.

- Cash payment only -

Parking space Am Donaubad - TOP spot ,

A great parking spot, very easily accessible from the A7. Upon arrival around midday, we were able to choose a nice spot. Everything was very tidy and well-organized. The free Wi-Fi worked well.

Good supply and disposal, electricity has to be paid at the machine.

Cost for 24 hours: €14.00.

You can take a shower at the Donaubad for €2.00.

Dog walk along the Iller Canal and through the Glacis facilities.
