Camping in Thuringia

Touring by tent and camper van

In Thuringia, camping is very personal: whether with a tent by the lake, caravan or motorhome on a pitch, in the countryside, close to the city. With us, camping becomes an individual adventure! You can set off directly from the campsite on hiking and cycling trails or on other outdoor adventures in the wild Hainich or the deep forests of the Thuringian Forest. And the best thing is that nature and culture are closely linked here. A short journey will take you from idyllic landscapes to impressive castles such as Wartburg Castle or historic cities teeming with culture such as Weimar.
