Freedom and flexibility at its best: This combines travelling with a motorhome, caravan, bus and bicycle. You can camp on one of the many different pitches and explore the surrounding area by bike every day or as you wish. Whether it's a pitch or a cycle route - there's something here for every taste.
Camping and cycling – the ideal mix
When it comes to camping vehicles, Germany is way ahead of the rest of Europe: In 2021, more than 81,000 motorhomes were registered, plus over 24,000 caravans . No wonder: the independence you gain from having your own motorhome or caravan is almost limitless. You can plan your day 100 percent freely, without fixed meal times, as you might be used to in a hotel. Just drive off or keep going whenever you want and stop whenever you feel like it. After all, you park your motorhome in a great parking space for as long as you like it there or for as long as you have booked it.
If you also have your bike with you, you are guaranteed an even more flexible and eventful camping holiday. The bikes can be easily attached to the back of the motorhome using a bike rack . This is less hassle than storing them on the roof of a car and is more convenient than attaching them to the back of a car.
Above all, there are plenty of RV parking spaces that are specially designed for cyclists. Among other things, there are places with charging stations for e-bikes . Some places also offer maps for particularly attractive routes.
Tours for every taste and fitness level
Ready, set, go: Many popular routes start directly from the RV parking space. Maybe you want to race down the slopes on your mountain bike, go on day trips on flat surfaces on your trekking bike or ride through enchanting landscapes on your racing bike... Everything is possible if you choose the right RV parking space beforehand and take your cycling tours into account when planning your vacation or choosing a parking space.
There is a lot on offer for families as well as for solo travellers or couples. There are beautiful pitches all over Europe on farms and in mountainous areas, near the sea or in the countryside with almost endless, different cycling routes.
Important when camping with a bike: The travel first aid kit
Despite all the freedom, there are some important precautions to be taken in the planning phase if you want to go on a camping trip by bike. This is even more important if you are not very familiar with the area you are planning to go to.
Safety first: Make sure you have a well-stocked first aid kit . We all know this: When on holiday, you are often not sure where the nearest doctor and pharmacy are. And you don't have to go to the doctor for every little thing. Minor injuries can be treated yourself with a plaster, gauze bandage and tincture, as well as a bandage clip.
Even a mild cold does not always need to be treated by a doctor. For this, pack a nasal spray, cough syrup and plenty of tissues . Headache tablets, blister plasters, insect repellent and sun protection (when cycling) are also recommended. If you have a sensitive stomach and are travelling abroad, you should pack gastrointestinal medication . A thermometer is also useful. If you have children, you need child-friendly remedies for sunburn, diarrhea, wounds and insects.
Conclusion: Preparation is half the battle
Enjoy your vacation with a motorhome, caravan, bus and bike - but don't forget to prepare yourself sufficiently and equip yourself with the right medication. A first aid kit is just as important as planning your bike tours. Maybe you also need a jersey, new shoes or a bike check? Make a list and work through it bit by bit. Our tip : As well as the charging cable, don't forget the cell phone holder for your bike . This way you can reach your destination safely every day.
Have fun on your tour with your bike!
