Route description for Sauerland - Vienna - Krk - Istria

We started the journey on March 15, 2025, in Altena, a small town in the Sauerland region

Coordinates:

49.00772, 12.40848

The site is in Wörth an der Donau and is ideally located on the way to Vienna. There is no public transport!
Only about 2km from the A3 motorway exit. An AVIA gas station is also located shortly after the exit.

We stood here well and quietly!

The parking space is relatively well located (for Vienna) and easily accessible! When we arrived on March 16, there were still plenty of spaces available. There's a discount store across the street, and the subway station is also nearby. The infrastructure is well laid out, and the parking spaces aren't particularly large, but they're perfectly adequate.
Upon arrival, you simply take a folder containing a form that you must fill out. Your license plate number, arrival date, etc. will be recorded at the front entrance.
When you leave, please put the amount due (30€/day/incl. electricity/no additional tourist tax!) in the folder and return it.
During our stay, the restrooms were being renovated, and only designated (men's/women's) containers were available. However, they weren't exactly attractive and far too few for a site of this size!
We quickly left the site and moved to Donaupark Camping. We would only return to the site in an emergency.

After the motorhome parking space in Vienna, we visited this campsite and were able to use our ACSI card without any problems (27€/+ 2.50€ tourist tax/person).

The site is located just a few meters from the town of Klosterneuburg.
There are several shops and amenities there, including a SPAR (approx. 500m away) and a Penny (approx. 1.8km away). The Danube is also a quick walk away.
The Danube Cycle Path is right next to the campsite, and it's about 13 km to Vienna's city center. For this reason, I find this campsite an ideal base for a visit to Vienna (you can reach the city center by bike).
The campsite's sanitary facilities are really well-organized and were always very clean during our stay.
If you have the time and good weather, I recommend a bike ride to Tulln. Here you can cycle all the way along the Danube, and after about 8 km, the Danube Cycle Path becomes simply beautiful and well worth seeing.
Tulln is a small town, but it still has a lot to offer.

The photos shown here were taken at the campsite, in Klosterneuburg, in Vienna and on the Danube Cycle Path towards Tulln (on our bike tour)!

I can also recommend the Greek restaurant in Tulln! I've given it a special rating in my Google Maps reviews!

From Klosterneuburg (14 km from Vienna), we drove to our main destination, Croatia (approximately 525 km away). Our first campsite was Camping Omisalj on the island of Krk.
The drive was quite quiet and uneventful on a Monday morning! However, I recommend waiting for good and sufficiently warm weather for the trip (if possible)! It does climb quite a few meters, and the weather conditions can certainly change for the worse quickly. We drove on March 24th, and conditions were good. In winter conditions, there are sections of the road where snow chains are mandatory (and not without reason).
At Camping Omisalj, check-in was seamless, and ACSI was immediately accepted. A tourist tax of €1.30 per person is added to the ACSI price (€27/March 2025).
In March there were only a few campers present and even with ACSI there are many pitches available (also with sea views)
The pitches are quite spacious and have water and sewage hookups. 16-ampere electricity is available, and free, good Wi-Fi is also included! The sanitary building is always well-cleaned and looks modern.

The campsite also has a lovely petting zoo! All photos shown here were taken exclusively on the campsite grounds!

There is a good Lidl about 2.5km away.
We would definitely visit this campsite again (although there is nothing special in the area).

If you are traveling with a caravan and car, you still have good opportunities to explore the island.

On the approach, you drive slightly uphill from the roundabout (about 1km) and through a residential area. At some point, you might think you've taken the wrong turn, but if you follow the clear signs and continue uphill, you'll be on the right track!

We were warmly welcomed by the lady at reception. Checking in in German was also possible!
We had many beautiful places to choose from and quickly found what we were looking for!
The ACSI card was immediately accepted, and we paid €25 + €1.30/person tourist tax in March 2025. A washing machine and dryer cost €5 each.

The pitches are nice and big.
The old town of Krk is about 1.3 km down the hill. The town is worth a visit.
About 2km away there is a central location where there are several discount stores such as Lidl, Konzum, etc.

The restrooms were also in mint condition and were always well cleaned. There's also a fitness room, but it wasn't finished during our stay!
Cycling tours with an e-bike, for example, are easily possible there and walks are also great here.
We would love to visit this campsite again and again because of its tranquility! There are two other (very large) campsites in Krk. These are also nice, but they are more hectic.

All photos were taken within a radius of typical cycling tours of approximately 25-30km in length and on hikes.

After Camping Bor in Krk, we quickly reached Valamar Camping Baska after a 20 km drive.
Check-in went smoothly, and our ACSI card was accepted immediately. However, we had to pay for the agreed-upon days immediately. At Camping Bor, we were able to pay everything at the end.
The campsite is clean, spacious, and located right by the sea. The restrooms are constantly cleaned, and everything is very clean!
The beautiful promenade with restaurants and much more can be reached on foot in 5 minutes.
The beach and water are stunningly beautiful. The surrounding mountainous landscape provides a magnificent and unique panorama.
€25/day/pre-season plus €1.99/day per person for the tourist tax! A washing machine and dryer cost €7 each. If you need both, it costs €12.

The Wi-Fi was very good at our site.

The photos shown here were taken within a radius of approximately 5 km. They were mainly taken during our hikes on the mountains to the right and left of Baska Bay. I would consider the climb up the left mountain of Baska Bay to the Moon Plateau a highlight. Here, we climbed over gravel and scree up to the plateau. The descent is very easy via a great hiking trail (along the church). If you plan to do this, I recommend bringing plenty of fluids (1-1.5 liters per person).

I can wholeheartedly recommend the campsite and the town of Baska if you're considering a vacation on the island of Krk. We felt very comfortable here, but we also had perfect weather during our stay. In bad weather, it might not be so nice! My recommendation would be to check the weather forecast and plan accordingly, if possible.

The campsite is located about 2 km from Medulin and is very large.
The young man at the reception was very friendly and spoke perfect German.

There is a good and large Konzum supermarket on the campsite (but you have to look at the prices carefully / there are some reasonable but also some exorbitant prices)

It's easy to get to town by bike!

There are several small bakery containers on the campsite where you can buy bread rolls.

Most of the restrooms on the campsite are very old and no longer up-to-date for what is otherwise a very nice campsite. I found a new washroom in the middle of the site, but it was closed. At the very end of the site, I saw another (open) new and nice washroom. There's also a good, spacious waste disposal station.

From Medulin, we drove to Camping Vestar in Rovinj (approx. 45km). The campsite is located about 7km below Rovinj.

You can also cycle to Rovinj on great bike paths (approx. 10 km). The first kilometer is more of a footpath and a bit bumpy, but after that, you cycle directly into and through the next campsite (Polari). After that, a fantastic gravel bike path begins all the way to Rovinj, along beautiful bays and views! Highly recommended!

To the Vestar campsite:

When you check in, you're given a sheet of paper with seat numbers (which are available). Each seat number indicates how long it's available. This gives every customer a clear overview! I think this is a great solution!
The campsite is very nice and has an excellent swimming area.

Here with ACSI we had to pay €25 plus €1.30 overnight tax per person.
The campsite has several new sanitary buildings that were also clean (including clean chemical toilet disposal)!
From our point of view, there is nothing to complain about at this campsite!

The Brunner campsite on Lake Millstatt is a lovely place for a stopover on the way to Croatia. It's beautifully situated on the lake and not far from the highway. The Karawanks Tunnel in Slovenia is about 45 km south.

With ACSI the pitch costs 27€ plus 2.70€ tourist tax per person plus 4.50€ environmental contribution/day!

I find this environment quite high.

Otherwise, the campsite is very clean, tidy and everyone at reception is extremely friendly.

The sanitary building is also very clean and the Wi-Fi is good!

There is a first-class toilet and shower facility opposite reception. However, you have to cross the street to use it.

After a 465km drive we drove to the Fischer-Michl campsite in Gunzenhausen.

Registration at reception was quick and ACSI was recognized immediately!

The price was 23€ plus 2€ tourist tax/person and 2.50€ garbage fees.

The campsite is divided into several pitches and the pitches are spacious.

The sanitary building is quite old.

A beautiful adventure playground is within easy walking distance.

Return home. End of vacation in spring 2025
