There are many ways to implement your caravanning passion. Most people start their adventure by renting equipment, paying a few hundred zlotys for a few days of use. The next - seemingly natural - step is to buy your own camper or caravan. When buying a new product, we can count on some discounts obtained from the dealer. In the case of used equipment, the situation is a bit different. The final sale price depends not only on the seller's initial valuation, but also on the interest in a given offer or the technical condition of a given item.

Amelia tastes of dried figs and chocolate. It is green, smells like pears in winter and olives in summer. We can find it in the Italian province of Terni, on a hill among the rocks. In the Italian region of Umbria, less than 16 km from Narni, lies a city bearing the extremely romantic name Amelia. It stretches over a rocky hill above olive groves and oaks. The green belt that wraps around them like a shawl is broken only by the uneven ribbon of the Tevere River. It is a very old center - the remains of the first defensive walls come from the 6th century BC.

Sweet Amelia

I invite all users of caravans and campers who want to start the 2015 caravanning season in this way. Following the example of walking pilgrimages, we go to Częstochowa together, but in groups of different colors. We encourage you to represent your club / circle with flags, emblems and club clothes ... Of course, the pilgrimage and the place of the "rally" requires some behavior from us. So the pilgrimage is ALCOHOL FREE. Cost - is the cost of the car park at Jasna Góra Monastery. Meals on your own. Sanitary facilities at the Pilgrim's House. Since last year, it is possible to connect to 230V in several sectors.

Passion, to which we devote a lot of our time and money, has an important place in our lives. Also, caravanning is no exception to this rule - it is one of the most demanding hobbies and ways of spending free time. As we have already mentioned several times - amateurs of active rest have two options to pursue their interests. The easiest way to spend your vacation with a motorhome or caravan is to rent equipment . There are companies all over Poland that specialize in renting mobile holiday homes. All you need to do is make an appointment, choose the right model and settle the bill . The second option is to buy your own equipment - new or used. When choosing this option, we must take into account the service expenses that may await us. Years of use, or even a temporary inattention of users, may damage the upholstery . Of course, in such a situation, we can commission a repair to a specialist or try our hand .

MRZEŻYNO – DŹWIRZYNO – KOŁOBRZEG – UTRONIE MORSKIE – GĄSKI – SARBINOWO – MIELNO. ROUTE 100 km. Mrzeżyno, Dźwirzyno - similar names and surroundings - beach as far as the eye can see. In Mrzeżyno there is a monument with a commemorative plaque dedicated to the wedding of Poland with the Baltic Sea on March 17, 1945. And as we drove further, we climbed some dunes :)  But man does not live by beaches alone - sometimes you will come across a city on the route - today Kołobrzeg is the highlight. We left the car at the port and wandered along the coast. We also met a yellow camper on a sheet metal with Polish registration plates (unmarked). We won't sail to Bornholm - we wanted to go out to sea, but I guess there are no other people willing to go.  The port, the lighthouse, the promenade, the pier - there are already crowds here.  Similarly, towards the east, behind the pier, where a traffic path stretches along the sea. Kamienny Szaniec - now a pub - we certainly won't be among the walruses, so we'll get out of here.  There are hotels behind the campsite - we checked the price list - a double room on New Year's Eve is only PLN 3,000 :D  After Ustronie Morskie we got on the road to Wenietowo. Even though, looking around, we entered a military area and the road was still relatively smooth. However, just before the river, we stood in front of the driveway and... we turned back even though there were still signs to a campsite (real?). We wanted to take a shortcut to Gąski (it was on the paper map), but for the first time we trusted the GPS, which stubbornly said "turn around" - so we went back.  We got to Gąski via a not very interesting road - (through Kładno) narrow and full of holes, not recommended. There is a lantern here and omnipresent silence.  Sarbinowo is definitely bigger and more "civilized", especially when it comes to roads :)  Mielno is quiet at this time of year. We walk around the promenade, sorry, the promenade :), the beach, and then to Lake Jamno.  KOSZALIN - SŁAWNO-SŁUPSK In Koszalin we park in a free parking lot (54.192069, 16.178188) very close to the center - near the brewery and the historic fire brigade building. First we go to the Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Koszalin's town hall is completely covered - renovation is in full swing.

PUSTKOWO - DZIWNÓWEK - DZIWNÓW - INTERWODZIE - MIĘDZYZDROJE - LUBIN - WAPNICA - WOLIN ROUTE 140km. Finding a place to stay by the sea in winter… quite an art. It worked in Pustków. It surprised us a lot when we turned there from the main road - and here a fabulously lit town. Departure, unfortunately, not a camper, which after a few trips with luggage to the room, we regret a bit, but it's cold brrr, so you have to sacrifice yourself :) The weather, unfortunately, is not good since the morning it is pouring, so we bloom in the room. In the morning it only rains so we set off on a cruise. West direction today. We start with Dziwnówek. He's practically a living spirit, but there is a sea, at least we'll say hello to him.

For hundreds of years, German Konstanz had the opportunity to observe wonderful and cruel events of great importance for the world and those that would be best kept in mind. The city on Lake Constance has a lot to tell for anyone who wishes to visit. In 2015, it will be 600 years since the event that shook the foundations of European Catholicism. On July 6, 1415, the Czech reformer, Jan Hus, was burned at the stake in the German city of Konstanz. He died for the boldness in preaching his views - controversial even today. He came to Constance for the council, but found only death here.

Bloody Constance

The entire automotive market has changed enormously over the past two decades. Drivers are very eager to buy kombivans - passenger cars that can also be used as small vans. These extremely popular designs also appealed to active people. The spacious interior will easily accommodate a lot of luggage and holiday equipment. No wonder that there are numerous accessories on the market designed specifically for caravanning enthusiasts. It has been known for a long time that German companies are leading players on the caravanning market. Their innovative products make life easier, and in the case of the Ququq solution, they also allow you to transform a popular kombi van into a two-person bedroom with a field kitchen in a few moments. In cars such as Volkswagen Caddy, Fiat Doblo, Dacia Dokker, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Renault Kangoo or Opel Combo , the luggage space and interior length allow for many configurations and arrangements.

Along with the first rays of spring sun, there are also plans for the May holiday. This year, the first weekend of May will not provide many statutory holidays, but it can be a great excuse to break away from everyday duties and go on a well-deserved rest. Where? Preferably to Masuria. It is a paradise for townspeople who crave peace and quiet, who will easily find themselves in the Masurian reality. The geographic and cultural region in north-eastern Poland offers a wealth of attractions even for the most demanding holidaymakers.

Masuria is the best for a spring holiday

Carcassonne is a historic complex considered to be the largest medieval complex of this type in Europe. His beauty captivated Kevin Costner so much that he decided to make the film "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves" in it. The most beautiful fortified city in Europe is located in southern France, in the Aude department. It has about 47 thousand. residents, and - as an important tourist center - each year receives nearly 3 million guests from various countries. In 1997, its old part was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The purchase of a new motorhome is almost always associated with an expense well exceeding PLN 100,000 - this amount increases significantly with the growing expectations of the customer. A caravan is a much cheaper alternative to a well-equipped motorhome. The only obvious requirement for such a choice is a car suitable for towing a trailer of about 1.5 tons. In the Hobby catalog, we can find, among others, the Excellent model. The trailer received a single-axle chassis. Of course, while driving, we are assisted by an overrun brake . The white body has been varied with stickers - the customer can opt out of them if he wishes. In the front part of the trailer there is no box - usually mounted on a drawbar. Place for gas cylinders is provided in the built-in lockable compartment . Contrary to the structures from years ago, the gutters used to attach the vestibules almost do not protrude beyond the outline of the car body. It is worth adding that users have a closed vestibule at their disposal.

Hobby Excellent - a trailer for everyone

Caorle will meet the expectations of those who want to spend a holiday on the Italian coast and have access to all the comforts and attractions, but without the excessive commercialism that is present, for example, in Venice. Many consider it one of the most picturesque towns on the northern Adriatic coast. Of all the resorts of Veneto, charming Caorle boasts the widest beach strips. Many of them are paid, but it is worth spending every euro to be able to rest there. They are well developed - there are numerous free showers, changing rooms and many bars where you can relax. More thrifty tourists can go to one of the equally beautiful free beaches.
