Owners of around 1,000 motorhomes and caravanning caravans protested in Berlin on Saturday, April 17, against restrictions imposed by federal authorities and federal states on the camping and parking industry. The initiators of the action were caravanningists focused on the initiative "Campen mit Abstand" (translated into camping with a distance), established in February 2021 on one of the social networks.
