Austria is one of Europe's favorite countries to satisfy your appetite for mountain adventures. The view itself offers unforgettable moments, tempting you with its peaks, regardless of the season. The mountainous terrain, forests and meadows allow for incredible contact with nature, which is undoubtedly their great advantage. However, being away from the towering concrete and glass buildings, observation is not enough. Peaceful hikes along alpine paths, high-mountain climbs to the Großglockner peak, or a walk through the Glockner gorge are a pleasant duty for every tourist. Ski lovers will also have plenty of attractions on winter days on one of the nearby slopes.

A camper or trailer is a serious expense. Therefore, it is worth taking care of them, starting with insurance . And it turns out that there are virtually no policies dedicated to caravanners on the Polish market. In fact, most popular comparison websites do not even include this type of cars in their calculators. Many insurance agents or brokers, when asked about the offer of insurance for motorhomes , throw up their hands helplessly, admitting that, unfortunately, they are not specialists in this industry. They offer standard products that do not fit perfectly.

Motorhome and caravan insurance - is it worth it?

Corsica is a real pearl of the French Mediterranean. Called the Island of Beauty (Île de Beauté), it also delights with its natural landscapes and surprises with its wild, inaccessible nature, so different from the well-known Greek or Croatian islands. Breathtaking travelers visiting the region are taken away by charming capes, beautiful beaches, magnificent mountains, nature reserves and picturesque cities, towns and villages where it is worth getting lost during a camper trip. Note - while admiring the island, watch out for cows, sheep and goats lying on the roads. And of course, get acquainted with the history of the island related to Napoleon and the corsairs, as well as try the best Corsican cuisine.

Two days in Arco di Trento, in the Garda Trentino area? It may not be much, but with good organization it is enough to experience the wonderful atmosphere of a city located a bit from Lake Garda. The biggest attraction is undoubtedly the famous castle towering over the village, popular especially among painters and poets. Art Nouveau villas, elegant gardens and buildings all catch the eye as a living trace of the former Habsburg Empire. As there is a specific microclimate here, Arco has always had a reputation as a health resort for people suffering from respiratory diseases. It was also a favorite place of the then aristocracy, especially representatives of the aforementioned dynasty, who liked to come here to improve their health. The mild climate and moderate temperatures made it worth visiting even in winter.

2 days in Arco, occasion, memory of the Habsburg Empire

This year, caravanning is undergoing a real siege. Both caravans and motorhomes sell like the proverbial "hot cakes". Most dealerships in Poland seem to be empty. So what to do if we would like to buy our own "house on wheels" this summer? It is enough to go to the Elcamp RV showroom in Krakow, which still can boast of several caravans and motorhomes available "on the spot". Caravans are the most popular in Poland. Many more are sold than motorhomes. An interesting proposition, therefore, is Adria Adora 673 PK, which has a total of 7 sleeping places . It is 735 cm long (without the drawbar) and 260 cm high, and its GVM is 2 tons. About 300 kilograms are left for the additional weight after full retrofitting. The manufacturer, the Slovenian brand Adria, provides a seven-year warranty on tightness. This is very important because Adora is fully prepared for use also in winter. On board we find solid insulation and efficient Truma Combi heating in the latest version 6E. In addition, there is an oven, a stove, a Bluetooth sound system and a TV holder.

Are you looking for a motorhome or trailer &quot;for now&quot;? Go to Krakow

For the list, I chose campsites that are good not only for sleeping and going further, but may also be a place where you can stay for a longer time. Austria is rarely a travel destination for Poles (except in winter, of course). It's a pity, because the campsites have great facilities and are located in beautiful places with great sports infrastructure. So I will describe how far it is from the nearest highway exit, but I will try to describe these places to encourage you to plan an additional few days at these campsites.

The history of hammocks goes back to the times of Christopher Columbus, who discovered them during his stay in the Bahamas, and then brought them to Europe. The local inhabitants were used not only for recreational purposes, but also for transport or protection against snakes and spiders. Currently, it is a generally available product, without which some people cannot imagine their journey. The tourist hammock has gained its popularity thanks to its simplicity. It is very light, easy to fold and unfold and no manual is needed. You just need to find two trees, then enjoy the comfort and relax. At the very beginning, the basic material used to create this type of bed was wood bark and sisal fibers. Tourist hammocks that are being made today vary depending on the design, model, application and individual needs. We can choose between single or multi-player versions, as well as between the available materials. Some travel hammocks are also equipped with a mosquito net and a warmer. Anyone who plans to buy such a hanging bed should have no problem finding something for themselves, thanks to the wide range of products.
