The vast majority of caravanning enthusiasts treat the autumn and winter months as an inter-season break, which is the perfect time to make all kinds of repairs, improvements and servicing of caravans and motorhomes. Winter is also a perfect time to start preparations for the upcoming trips. However, creating trip plans, stopping places and routes is not everything. If you have a lot of free time, it is also worth taking care of useful tourist equipment and accessories. By buying them before the season, we can save a lot.

Again, a suggestion of a one-day trip, possibly one of the days of my stay in eastern Poland, my favorite one. Sunday morning did not bode well for me. Dark rain clouds over Kielce, a small rain that appears every now and then. And according to the announcement, it was supposed to be without rain. I packed my camera and we were on our way ... Oh ... I forgot my umbrella ... But I'm not coming back - I hope it won't rain. Direction to Lublin . On the way to Lublin, checkered weather ... Rain, cloudy, sun, rain again, downpour, sun ... I was not sure what awaited me there. On the way, passing Opatów , I saw signposts with the information: Brama Warszawska, Collegiate Church of St. Marcin ... From the route, the Collegiate Church presented itself majestically and when I saw a small parking lot on my side behind the crossword, I looked at my watch and found that my time was good and I stopped for a moment.

Rovinj, situated on the west coast of Istria, is a town famous for its picturesque location on a small hill. Everyone likes it - both wine lovers and naturists. This is Rovinj, one of the most beautiful cities in northern Croatia. If a place is called by many Croatian Saint-Tropez, it must be unique. Rovinj has been competing with other resorts of the country for years, proudly competing with even the most popular ones - Zagreb and Split. It owes its fame to several factors, ranging from the taste of wines produced in the surrounding vineyards, through the atmosphere of a city adored by artists, and ending with the most important - the beauty of its landscapes.

After returning home after an exceptionally cold day, I dreamed of a hot bath. When I poured a few drops of olive oil into the bathtub, I remembered my September trip to Greece. It leaves me a bottle of excellent oil and a lot of memories of the blue of the water so amazing that you smile at the very thought of bathing there. My memory went back to the moment I got out of my car at a gas station in Macedonia and went straight into the wall of hot air. It was only then that I felt that I was really on vacation. We've felt it before, taking as much as possible through Slovakia (but with common sense, being aware of what amounts they write on the tickets there). We also felt in Hungary, which always terrified me that I did not understand a single word on the billboards I passed. But I actually realized it right there, at a Macedonian gas station.

The 2015 Winter Universiade will be exceptionally held in two countries - Spain and Slovakia. The Spanish organizers had a problem with the construction of the sports facilities (including the jumps), so ice hockey and curling will be held in Granada, and ski jumping and biathlon competitions will be available in the Slovak resorts of Osrblie and Štrbské Pleso. The Universiade, also known as the Student Games, is one of the most important sports events organized by The International University Sports Federation (FISU). It takes place every two years for an odd year. It was organized for the first time in 1959 in Turin - it was the Summer Universiade, and 407 competitors from 43 countries took part in it. A year later, the Winter Universiade was held in Chamonix, France. Since 1981, both editions, summer and winter, have been organized in the same year.

Every fan of French cuisine will love the Lyon restaurant menu. Right here, in a city famous for its numerous collections of contemporary art, you can taste unique asparagus with oyster mousse, crab soup with saffron or ravioli stuffed with snails. Lyon is the third largest city in France (after Paris and Marseille). It is located on the Saone and Rhône mountains in the Rhône-Alpes region in the central-eastern part of the country. It is impossible to deny its charm - it is full of Renaissance tenement houses with arcaded courtyards and beautiful facades. In addition to centuries of history, it attracts tourists with the atmosphere of a cosmopolitan city that is dynamically developing, in no way inferior to the capital.

From 9 to 12 April, during the Motor Show Poznań, over 200 exhibitors from Poland and abroad will present their exhibitions at three trade shows: car, motorcycle and caravanning.

The 2015 Motor Show is fast approaching

The European motorhome market has been invariably dominated by German and Italian companies for several decades, offering a wide selection of mobile homes - practically for every budget. The company Rimor, which has been operating for 30 years and specializes in building relatively light structures, stands out among Italian manufacturers. Up to 20% lighter than comparable competitor models. Not every caravanning enthusiast expects from his camper a living space for four people, with a well-equipped interior with a separate dining room and numerous cabinets and lockers. The basic model of the producer from sunny Italy is the Horus 30, which meets the basic requirements of every tourist.

Hamburg is a city of musicals, theaters, including the famous Thalia Theater (Hamburg's oldest) and museums - with a special focus on the Panoptikum, the largest wax museum in Germany. In the northern part of Germany, on the Elbe, lies Hamburg - Germany's second largest city and the country's largest port (and one of the largest in the world). It is a financial center, an industrial center, a rail and road junction, and an important container reloading site. At the same time, it is a cultural and historical center of undeniable importance on the national and continental scale. It is difficult to count how many museums and theaters it houses.

There are constant changes on the European caravanning market, especially in the catalogs of leading manufacturers (from Italy and Germany) fighting for a wealthy customer. Polish enthusiasts of camping relaxation know the German company Hobby - the manufacturer of many trailers available on the secondary market. The constructions, mostly from the 1980s, are suitable only for a museum of technology, at least in terms of design and equipment. We believe that the flagship model of the manufacturer across the Oder - Landhaus - has a completely different purpose. Already at the first contact with a trailer mounted on a two-axle chassis , many questions arise regarding dimensions, equipment, construction and price. Like an unlimited body, it seems to be in isolation from generally accepted aerodynamic principles . Almost vertical walls, together with the roof protruding on each side, generate huge air resistance while driving - which only increases the effort of the towing car (the Landhaus weighs nearly 2 tons ). On the other hand, regular shapes herald a huge space inside.

The caravanning equipment market is growing every year. Especially in countries such as Poland, from year to year more and more people decide to buy a motorhome or caravan. Producers from Western Europe, in pursuit of the demand, constantly make their catalogs more attractive. As a result, customers have a huge choice. One of the most interesting propositions for a reasonable (in Germany) price of 18,000 euros is the Knaus Sudwind Exclusive model. Similar constructions are created for families actively spending their free time, traveling around Europe and beyond at their own discretion. To facilitate maneuvering on the camping site, the trailer is mounted on a single- axle chassis - you must remember not to go inside after detaching the drawbar from the tow hook.
