A country with a very exotic language has many attractions. One of the popular Hungarian cities is Győr, situated on the Raba and Danube, in the northwest of the country. It is also a resort with the first women's handball team in Hungary. The name "Győr" comes from the Avar language and means defense fortresses built on a circular plan. But what captivates visitors is the beautiful, baroque architecture of the monuments. An interesting fact about Győr is that the Town Hall (Városhaza) is not, as in most Hungarian centers, located in the center of the Old Town, but away from it - on a 19th-century square. The building is distinguished by a 58-meter tower topped with a clock.

Light and practical like a tent, comfortable like a motorhome - on such assumptions the unusual Cricket caravan (that is, literally translating Świerszcz) was based. It all started in 1972. It was then that Carrett Finney, a little boy from Philadelphia, wrote in a letter to St. Nicholas that he would like to receive a boat for Christmas. Unfortunately, his wish did not come true. Even so, Carrett did not stop dreaming. His fascination with small rooms, in which one could live, led him to ... NASA. It was there in 1999 that Finney became one of the designers responsible for "interior design" in spacecraft. The constructors' goal was to design the most functional living space in the smallest possible room.

The whole concept can be considered both extremely innovative and bizarre. The trailer is not large and at first glance does not reveal its capabilities, but it will certainly find its amateurs.

Or maybe ... a bicycle with a caravan?

There is a small city in Spanish Galicia. This is A Coruña, the capital of the province of the same name. The resort has a large fishing and trading port and is known for its well-developed fish and tobacco industries. He was also famous for the Torre de Hercules, Tower of Hercules. It is a lighthouse, which, according to preached legends, was built by the mythical strongman himself. Regardless of whether we believe these stories or not, it is worth seeing - it proudly crowns a small hill washed by waves. The tower was inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List.

The APE 50 model, branded by the Italian scooter manufacturer Piaggio, is a small tricycle with a small motor. Although it looks like a miniature truck, it doesn't even have a typical steering wheel, but one that seems appropriate for bicycles. The two-stroke engine with a capacity of 50 cc in many countries allows you to drive such a vehicle even without a driving license. Perhaps this is the reason why the APE 50 is so popular, for example, in Asia. It can carry more goods than a bicycle, is much more comfortable than a bicycle and provides a roof over your head. But to base the campervan design on such a structure?.

A camping vision not only for singles

That's right - although it may surprise you. In Portugal, we find one and only tiny ski resort, Serra da Estrela. Its highest peak, Torre, is 1993 m above sea level, and in winter crowds of Portuguese descend to the slopes. You can also ski here in summer, when skiers use the artificial slopes in Seia. The resort is located in the north-central part of the country, in the highest mountain range in Portugal. Skiing in Serra da Estrela is more of an addition, an attraction in itself than a tourist offer, after all, it cannot compete with the majesty and landscapes of the Alps. On the other hand, wouldn't it be great to boast about skiing in Portugal?.

Over the years, the Bedouins have grown significantly, and their equipment has been expanded and modernized. However, they were always a little bigger and better equipped than the basic models. It was the good reputation that they enjoyed that prevented the manufacturer from replacing the name Bedouin with any other to this day. The Bedouin family currently has as many as 13 models in various sizes and different interior design. Their prices range from EUR 18,999 for the 450 FL model (649 cm long, 3 beds) to EUR 29,499 for the 740 RFK model (942 cm, 6 beds). As you can see, both in terms of prices and sizes, the gap between individual Bedouins is huge.

It will be a slightly different story than usual. It will be a story about a journey along the border of two countries, along the Kupa, one of the cleanest rivers in Croatia, and at the same time about a place where visitors can rest in body and spirit, i.e. one of the oldest spas in Europe - Dolenjske Toplice in Slovenia. So let's get started. Kupa, also known as Kolpa, is the main outlet of the Sava River. One of its sections is the border between Croatia and south-eastern Slovenia. The river flows among wonderful landscapes, and the most beautiful of them belong to the Kolpa Landscape Park (Krajinski Park Kolpa). The park stretches within the Crnomelj district, its main attraction is undoubtedly the river itself with its picturesque, vast valley, in some part even forming a canyon with high cliffs on both banks.

Niewiadów SA is not only a Polish trailer manufacturer. Recently, he is also a manufacturer of Romer motorhomes. Let's see if they can be a serious alternative to camping vehicles from Western manufacturers. It cannot be denied that the greatest advantage of Romer is its… price. 200 thousand PLN for a motorhome built on the Fiat Ducato Maxi platform, equipped with a 3-liter engine with 160 hp is relatively little. Especially if we look at the rich equipment. Niewiadów can also boast an extensive service network - about 30 authorized points in Poland will help keep the motorhome in good condition.

When it snows outside and frost draws fancy patterns on the glass, many of us dream of going to a place where we can expose our face to the sun, walk on loose sand and swim in the warm sea. And for many of us, hot Spain comes to mind. And where can it be the warmest? In a region that is, colloquially speaking, just a stone's throw from Africa. In other words, in Andalusia. The southernmost Spanish center is Tarifa, from which the lights of the African city of Tangier can be seen at night. After all, they are only 30 km apart.

Sterckeman offers three models of trailers in 25 basic configurations. Interestingly, the largest selection will be in the case of the simple and light Starlett model (13 varieties), the more expensive Alize model comes in 9 varieties, and the most luxurious Espace model only in three. Don't let the name fool you - Sterkeman is a French company with a 60-year tradition. It has its sales points all over Western Europe. In Poland, this brand does not have an authorized dealer yet, which is a pity, because its offer is worth attention.

The T5 family of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is made up of many different versions equipped with powerful and fuel-efficient common rail diesel engines. The optional BlueMotion Technology package, which includes the Start-Stop system, brake energy recovery (recuperation), rolling resistance-optimized tires and cruise control, reduces the fuel consumption of TDI engines by 0.5 liters per 100 km. The T5 series offer has been extended with the BMT package for the 2.0 TDI unit with 180 HP. The changes in the engine offer also apply to the Volkswagen Amarok, which has received a new base unit. The previous 90kW (122hp) engine has been replaced by a 103kW (140hp) unit, which provides improved performance while maintaining the same fuel consumption.
