Our first stop was near Passau, where we were visiting friends.
We spent a cozy evening and had a lot to tell each other.

After Landshut, Passau is the largest city in Lower Bavaria.
The old town is located on a long peninsula between the Inn and the Danube.
The historic three-river city is an absolute highlight, if only because of its special flair.

Our journey takes us to the Wachau World Heritage Site in Lower Austria.
In Spitz we enjoy the view over the valley on the left bank of the Danube.

We then continue to Dürnstein and walk through the romantic town.
Here King Lionheart was imprisoned in the Middle Ages and was found by the singer Blondel and released for a horrendous ransom.

A campsite of superlatives!!! Pure peace and relaxation.
A very nice operator who is wholeheartedly involved.
Unfortunately, the navigation system leads over a narrow street with a headroom of 2.8 m. It is better to follow the signs for Großlobming / Camping Murinsel.
We paid €28 (2 adults + 1 dog) for one night with our camper.

Very beautiful lake, ideal for a circumnavigation or bike rides.

We chose this campsite because of its proximity to Punta Sabbioni (about 2 km).
From there you can easily (for €10 per person) take the boat to Venice and back.
Venice has lost some of its fascination due to the large number of tourists.

Overnight stay on the way to Tuscany. We drove on the country road, but would rather advise the Autostrada.
Very dusty campsite due to the drought. The area is industrial (port facility with oil tanks).
For us rather not a place to feel good.

That's why we went on to Volterra.
After what feels like half a century, the sanitary facilities of the campsite are in need of renovation and are not well maintained.
We only have a few meters to walk to the old town and are still compensated with a quiet location.
Of course, the operators of the campsite charge for the proximity to the city.

Very large pitches. Each with its own water and electricity connection. Absolutely top-kept area, exudes a pleasant atmosphere.
The beach is only a few minutes walk away.
In the shop at the reception you can buy local products.
Our panel van looks a bit tiny compared to the Concorde motorhomes from Switzerland and Germany.
At €64 per night, the price is reasonable for the ambience on offer.

The next day we visit a former work colleague who has retired in a small village and is spending the rest of his life there.
We enjoy a great meal in the trattoria with Gino, who attaches great importance to good quality products. No matter which cellar master, the Sangiovese also tastes good here.

From Liguria we continue through Tuscany in the Emiglia to Salsomaggiore, not far from Parma.
However, the famous spa town has not been used as a health resort for several years, since the health insurance companies in Italy have also cut back.
Local politicians don't seem to be trying too hard to stop the city from falling apart, even though the Barilla boss and Berlusconi wanted to build a villa there.

Together with a nice work colleague and his wife, we visited Bergamo Città Alta , the upper part of the city, which is a listed building. Great ambience, outstanding cuisine.
Even at midnight it was still pleasantly warm.

The capital of the Upper Palatinate, UNESCO World Heritage City, is no longer an insider tip because of its uniqueness.
Regensburg is not only known for its cathedral and the oldest stone bridge in Germany.
But also because of its historic old town with its culture and culinary diversity.
In addition, the rivers Danube, Regen, Laaber and Naab offer many opportunities for hiking, cycling and canoeing.

Wir haben diesen Campingplatz wegen seiner Nähe zu Punta Sabbioni (ca. 2 km) gewählt.
Von dort kann man bequem (für 10 € p.P.) mit dem Boot nach Venedig und zurück fahren.
Venedig hat aufgrund der vielen Touristen etwas von seiner Faszination verloren.
