Camping in Austria: traveling with children and all
Summer is over, while for many the camping season is far from over or is just beginning. Numerous holiday regions in Austria are very popular in autumn - especially among short vacationers or family campers . The highways are emptier, the campsites are less crowded and the temperatures are milder than during the peak summer travel season. We give parking space recommendations and tips for your autumn holiday in Austria.
That's why vacationing in the fall with a motorhome
Many sun-hungry campers use the autumn holidays to fly south and enjoy the last rays of sunshine of the year. But air and train travel can be quite nerve-wracking and expensive when prices are high and rising, strikes or constant delays . If you prefer a cheaper, more flexible holiday close to nature without fixed departure or meal times, camping with a motorhome or caravan in autumn is the best choice.

Tips and tricks when traveling to Austria on vacation
1) Vignette requirement in Austria: Many motorways and most expressways are subject to tolls in Austria - in contrast to Germany. The vignette for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes is available as an adhesive vignette or in digital form. The adhesive variant is attached to the windshield and removed again after it has expired. With the digital vignette you save yourself having to stick it on and then take it off after the journey. The practical online vignette can be purchased on the go using your smartphone and is valid immediately. b Next year there will be a one-day vignette on Austria's motorways, which will cost 8.60 euros per car or mobile home . Previously, a ten-day vignette was also required for short camping holidays or transit.
2) Safety when traveling: Children are also required to wear seatbelts in motorhomes: Analogous to the German Road Traffic Act, all people in the vehicle must of course be strapped in when traveling on holiday to Austria or secured by a restraint system or child seat.
3) Entertainment for children on the car journey: Depending on where you are traveling to Austria from, the car journey can last several hours. Anyone who has children knows very well that a long car trip on vacation can be a stress test for the whole family. So that the mood doesn't change or the holiday anticipation sinks to zero, family campers should prepare themselves with games for car trips that offer excitement and distraction in the back seat. Child-friendly books, brain teasers and puzzle games are a good, space-saving idea for good entertainment on the highway.
