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.

Knaus Sudwind Exclusive - a reasonable proposition

"You were skiing, weren't you?" When we hear this question not after showing off photos from a successful holiday, but for good morning, it may mean that we made the basic mistake of a lover of two skis. In the era of an increasing number of metrosexual or even more metrosexual men, we still do not lack the so-called alpha males who think that male cosmetics can safely limit themselves to gray soap and wireworm. Fortunately, there is also a golden mean and men who know that when on vacation a good sunscreen or sunscreen oil with an appropriate filter should have a place in their cosmetic bag.

Less than a hundred years ago, Poles constituted almost half of Kaunas's population. Today, there are less than 1% of them, but a native of Poland visiting this beautiful city will feel at home here. It is the largest industrial center in the country, but above all an important cultural center (second only to Vilnius). While wandering through Lithuania, it is worth stopping at least for a weekend in Kaunas, one of the country's oldest cities. The more that it is located only 110 km from Vilnius.

Most caravanning enthusiasts attach great importance to the activities related to the search and selection of a new or used motorhome. Checking all on-board systems, the health of the driveline, bodywork and more - everyone knows this list. Few people put a lot of effort into selling it. By investing a few hours of our own work and a small amount, we will effectively prepare our mobile home for sale at a slightly better price. At the very beginning, it is worth emphasizing that by masking damage and any shortcomings, we will not do much. We will achieve the opposite effect by honestly and reliably informing the buyer about all serious defects of the equipment sold . In this way, we will gain trust, and we will exclude the possibility of possible complaints caused by concealing important information. Therefore, at the very beginning of the inspection, it is worth presenting dents, cracks and scratches of furniture , and tell about the mechanical repairs .

At the beginning of 2015, the Polish company Taurus, a producer and distributor of roof racks, roof boxes and other accessories facilitating car transport, became the official representative of the Whispbar brand in Poland. Taurus will distribute, among others luggage racks that achieve the best results in terms of noise levels. According to the Taurus announcement, the company intends to widely distribute both luggage racks and roof boxes, as well as special handles for transporting, among others, bicycles, skis, snowboards and water equipment.

Orleans is associated with Joan of Arc, with the stone spans of the Royal Bridge hidden in the morning mist, with the gleaming colorful glow of the gothic facade of Hôtel Groslot, as well as with profiteroles, sweet puffs covered with hot chocolate. Who has not heard of the Maid of Orléans? Probably everyone knows about Joan of Arc, for the same city she came from is not even half known as she is. A pity, because it has many advantages and even more charm. Malicious people call them - quite unfairly - the suburbs of Paris. Perhaps as a child's revenge for moving the capital here in the 15th century, after the city was liberated from the English occupation?.

The vast majority of us, caravanning enthusiasts, are used to the classic approach of manufacturers to designing usable spaces of trailers. The Knaus company, presenting its single-axle model, breaks from known patterns and goes towards modern design - like architects responsible for the design of lofts. The single-axle chassis facilitates maneuvering on the camping field, which is over 7.5 meters long - with a drawbar ( 554 cm of the body's length) and a trailer. From the outside, the front stowage compartment for gas cylinders and touring accessories is striking. At the customer's request, in the Lifestyle model, the drawbar can be covered with a stylish plastic cover - while also hiding the elements of the overrun brake system. The rear part of the trailer was designed following the current trends of the automotive market - strongly marked LED lights are integrated into a prominent bumper.

Our adventure with Greece began in Alexandroupolis, we arrived in the city quite late and we were very tired. We drove through the main streets and immediately started looking for a place to stay. We left the city already in Thessaloniki, stopped by the beach on the coast full of hotels, restaurants and guesthouses. . We drove the bus into some abandoned gate and parked in the empty section between the two centers. In one of them we have located unsecured bathrooms and a beach shower, which of course we made good use of. The next day, a familiar surprise: the empty beach in the evening turned out to be one of the busiest in Alexandroupolis. I guess we started to get used to the fact that we fall asleep in a relatively deserted place and wake up in the spotlight. We sat on the beach for a while and began to gather in the direction of Thessaloniki.

One campervan, three-person crew, six weeks, almost 2,000 km. These were the initial assumptions for the 2014 holidays. Read for yourself what came out of it. We travel in a Hyundai Trajet with a vestibule - which has been serving us: Anka, Marek and 4.5-year-old Kuba as a substitute for a camper for 2 years. We don't like sitting still, so we spend no more than 4 days in each city we visit. We explore everything we can nearby - by bike or by car and move on. We appreciate regional food (although we won't eat it all because we are vegetarian), small breweries and interesting people. Our routes are dictated mainly by life - friends we visit along the way, festivals we want to participate in or simply interesting places we find on the Internet. Before we saved up money for a real camper, we decided to visit Poland - we started in 2012 and, over the next holidays, we managed to achieve our goal, step by step. We will finish the last stage in 2015 in a camper. We've already seen a lot, but there are still many places left to discover - and for now it's only Poland :).

No wonder, because they have a great atmosphere, and each meeting is a chance to enrich yourself with new experiences, contact with culture, history, nature and the opportunity to taste regional dishes.
