There has been talk of the prototype of a light trailer from the Knaus brand for several years. Now, however, the Travelino model really goes into production. Some say that this livestock can be a milestone in the caravanning industry because it weighs just 650 kg. Is it possible for a caravan to weigh so little? Of course, yes, but with such weight, we can imagine an extremely small and cramped vehicle. Meanwhile, it is not so bad with Travelino - 519 cm in length , 210 cm in width and 258 cm in height are obviously not the dimensions of a giant, but for many customers these values will be sufficient. The permissible total weight is 750 kg , so we can allocate 100 kg for luggage and additional equipment.

The comfort of our rest depends on many factors, such as weather or faults. So how should we prepare so that nothing disturbs our vacation? We need to think about this before leaving, because an extremely important element of preparation is the purchase of parts and accessories that will provide us with peace of mind and even greater comfort. Camp24.pl is probably the first caravanning store in Poland that offers such a wide range and fast shipping. Thanks to cooperation with the largest manufacturers, orders are sent to customers even within 48 hours of purchase. The store's offer currently includes over 5,000 parts and accessories from the best manufacturers, such as Thetford, Truma, Dometic, Fiamma, Isabella, Thule and many others.

The Atlantic Pyrenees, also known as the Western Pyrenees, is a beautiful department in the southwest of France. It is made up of the historic province of Béarn and the French part of the Basque Country, and its prefecture is the city of Pau. As a cross-border mountain range located on the border between Spain and France, the Atlantic Pyrenees are quite a tourist attraction - a strong point on the map of Europe for all lovers of raw nature and active recreation. For some, the range resembles the Alps a bit (due to limestone ridges and deep valleys), and among the many advantages of the region are the abundance of forests and the number of generally accessible shelters and huts. It is impossible to ignore the freedom of camping and lighting fires. A tourist who has decided to spend a vacation in the Atlantic Pyrenees will feel fully connected with nature. Both the French and Spanish parts of the range are geologically and biologically diverse. In the north, deciduous forests predominate, many of which have their original character - the last representatives of the Pyrenean bears can be found there. In turn, the southern part, due to better sunlight, is covered with more species of thermophilic flora, and conifers are dominant among trees. Compared to the northern part, there are also more pastures here. The villages are located at the foot of the mountains and in the lower parts of the valleys. The main tourist traffic is concentrated under the Pierre Saint Martin passes (Arette la Pierre Saint Martin resort) and Somport (Candanchu resort). In other parts of the region, it is rather small, so visitors can enjoy a comfortable contact with nature. The downside of hiking along this range is poor marking of the routes, which can be difficult for inexperienced tourists, as is the lack of signposts at some trail crossings.

Atlantic Pyrenees - the treasure of (two) nations

On the occasion of the trip to the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, we had the opportunity to check for ourselves how the semi-integrated motorhome of the French brand Pilote, model P716, works. Below we present the first, but certainly not the last motorhome test that we will conduct for you. We received the vehicle from the exclusive distributor of the Pilote brand in Poland - CarGO! Rent a Camp from Poznań . Our copy was built and registered in 2015, and at the beginning of the test its odometer showed 30,000. mileage.

When our condition allows us to cover further stretches on the bike, we need to plan the route and verify whether our equipment can handle longer distances. While the route can only be limited by our imagination, the choice of a bicycle should be carefully considered. A two-wheeler will be an inseparable companion of our trips, and the comfort of the journey depends on its parameters. The choice of a bicycle very often depends on the budget that we can spend on its purchase. In order to buy a bicycle that will serve us faithfully during trips, you do not have to spend astronomical sums. We can buy a good touring bike for around PLN 1,500. Of course, the higher the price, the better components it will be equipped with, and this will improve the quality of driving. Mountain bikes, trekking bikes and road bikes are suitable for further trips. It all depends on what areas we want to traverse. If we do not have specific preferences, it is best to choose the most universal one, i.e. trekking. Once you've chosen the right type of bike, it's time to look at the specific elements that make up the quality of your bike.

We choose a bike for the first long route

It would seem that it is difficult to compete for tourists, being the only province in the country without access to the sea. Meanwhile, Spanish Lleida, located in the western part of Catalonia, does not have to be ashamed that there is nothing to make up for. Because it does, and it does. The location of the Lleida province is a great asset for a tourist wishing to intensively explore the attractions of Spain . What can we say about its capital? Lleida (Lérida) is not as famous and popular as Zaragoza, let alone Barcelona, but it is growing very fast. Located on the banks of the River Segre, it is an important scientific and commercial center, and has good rail connections. After relaxing in Barcelona, tourists often pass through Lleida on their way deep into the Iberian Peninsula. The main attractions of the city are two cathedrals - the 13th-century Catedral de la Seu Vella, with a tall tower and courtyard with 17 huge arches, and the newer, baroque Catedral Nueva. It does not make such an impression as the older temple towering over Lleida, but it is also worth seeing. The old town hugs the hill with the Catedral de la Seu Vella visible from a distance and hugs the right bank of the river. Parallel to Segre runs the representative shopping street - Carrer Major, while on the other side of the river is the Cappont district, where the new university campus is located. While strolling through the streets of Lleida, it is worth taking a closer look at the ancient gate to the city, the Gardena Castle, built by the Templars, as well as the magistrate building, i.e. the Paerii Palace, built in Romanesque style. Approx. 27 km away is Belaguer , an interesting town with an Arab and Jewish quarter, the castle of the Counts of Urgel and Gothic temples. It's nice to get lost in the tangle of narrow medieval streets.

In the heart of Catalonia - Lleida

The new offer of Adria campers is likely to meet with great interest from customers in Poland.

Usually, visiting museums sounds not very interesting to children and teenagers. What can be interesting about walking through rooms filled with objects that cannot be touched and listening to the (often) monotonous voice of the guide? There is a place where a trip to the past is not only not boring - it will engage every child, guaranteeing them a great adventure. This place is not far away at all, it is waiting for little guests here, in Poland, in Malbork. Imagine a trip to the medieval castle where the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights and his knights lived hundreds of years ago. At the beginning you receive special knight's hoods and wax tablets. The letters written on them will create a Latin maxim that will need to be translated into Polish at the end of the journey. During the expedition, you will meet a lady with a harp, a mint master and an ambersmith, and you will follow a guide dressed in an ancient costume. Discovering the secret of the castle will not be easy - the task is interrupted by a clown trying to distract your attention. At the end of the journey, you will meet the Grand Master and the monastic knights, and you will receive a special certificate, proof of being the discoverer of the castle's secrets. Doesn't such a trip sound attractive? It is not associated with moving one foot at a time from one room to another - on the contrary, the "Secrets of Malbork Castle" route arouses great interest among visitors. This is a completely different way to learn about history, as well as the opportunity to test your skills in crossbow and bow shooting, or your accuracy in throwing a spear and axe. There are more applicants than places, so it is not surprising that long queues form during the period in which it is organized (May 1 - September 30). You can go on the route every day except Monday, between 10:00 and 11:30. After leaving the interior of the castle, it is worth going to the nearby Żuławy Ceramic Village, where at one of the Artistic Crafts points you can see how easy it is to make something out of clay yourself. During the workshops, you can leave your child under the care of the instructor.

The hot Italian summer encourages you to spend a carefree holiday in the homeland of Dante, Leonardo da Vinci and... the best cuisine in the world. However, like many other friends, I started this year's holiday plans in sunny Italy by asking myself a serious question: do I really want to suffocate in queues to the Colosseum again, watch tourists posing in always the same pose under the tower of Pisa or, what's even worse, stuck in Naples traffic jams? The answer was: in life! That's why, at the beginning of July, I set out for Sardinia, surrounded by turquoise waters, one of the most fascinating islands in Southern Italy . Here, surrounded by sandy beaches "littered" with huge granite rocks, I was to spend a dream and long-deserved holiday - in the quiet and mesmerizing landscape of the province of Gallura in the north of Sardinia.

Sardinia - escape towards relaxation

The holiday season has just ended, but it is still possible to leave in the early, warm autumn. For those who have planned their vacation right now and are planning to spend their free time on numerous bicycle trips, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of individual two-wheeled transport methods. Holders for the roof, the trunk lid or the hook rack - the characteristics of these solutions and their impact on the economy of travel will help you make a decision.
