Italy trip 2021 - we explore the south

For the year 2021 we had set ourselves a few travel destinations and discarded them again. The result was a tour of Istria in spring. An exploration in southern Italy was planned for autumn. Since we are retirees with no time constraints, we first went leisurely to the German wine route. Many other mobile drivers also had this idea and it became tight in sought-after locations. In general, the increase in new cars was noticeable everywhere. Places are slowly becoming scarce, even in the off-season. For Italy we had a plan which places we really wanted to see. Tuscany e.g. has a lot to offer, but is not an ideal area for motorhome enthusiasts in terms of parking spaces. For this we discovered - mostly by accident - other beautiful spots. Overall, it was an interesting and relaxing tour.

Travelogue

Day 1
Bad Vilbel, Deutschland
61118 Bad Vilbel, Deutschland

Kallstadt, Deutschland

We want to take it easy and visit the German Wine Route.

Via Kallstadt, Hambacher Schloss and Bad Bergzabern it goes to Bad Bellingen.


Day 2
Hambacher Schloss, Schlossstraße, Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Deutschland
Schlossstraße, 67434 Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Deutschland

German history took place here.


Day 3
Stellplatz am Weingut Hitziger
Liebfrauenbergweg 3, 76887, Bad Bergzabern, Germany

Day 4
Stellplatz der Balinea Therme
Badstraße 14, 79415, Bad Bellingen, Germany

Day 5
SP in Rodi-Fiesso, Prato, Schweiz
Rodi-Fiesso, 6772 Prato, Schweiz

Good place for an overnight stay. The Viadotto del Dazio and a gorge can be reached on foot.


Day 6
Area Parking Nord
Via XXIV Maggio, 43012, Fontanellato, Italy

A popular stop on the way to southern Italy for years. The SP is only practical, but the old town with the castle as the center and many restaurants is worth seeing


Day 7
Day 8
Area Sosta Mazzanta
Via dei Cavalleggeri Nuovo, 57016, Rosignano Marittimo, Italy

Unfortunately, the CP around Cecina were all full and there was only space left on the SP.


Day 9
Voltera
Viale dei Filosofi, 56048, Volterra, Italy

Absolutely worth seeing city. Overnight stays are also possible in the parking lot. Electricity V / E available.


SP Pomarance, Pisa, Italien
56045 Pomarance, Pisa, Italien

Good place to stay on the outskirts of the village. V / E and showers available.


Day 10
Giardino Dei Tarocchi, Strada Garavicchio, Pescia Fiorentina, Grosseto, Italien
Str. Garavicchio, 2, 58011 Pescia Fiorentina GR, Italien

An experience to visit this park and former residence of the artist Niki de Saint Phalle


Day 11
Day 12
Resort Fonte Vulci / Agriturismo, Canino, Viterbo, Italien
Vulci, Loc. Monte dell'Oro, snc, 01011 Canino VT, Italien

At 52 euros per day for a simple pitch, this agritourism is well above our pain threshold. We have afforded ourselves the "luxury" for 2 days.

The thermal pools, which can be used free of charge, and the excellent restaurant, which cooks according to Etruscan recipes, made up for the "price shock" somewhat. In the evening, a noticeable number of guests from around Rome came to the restaurant.

On the 2nd day we visited the nearby remains of the Etruscan city of Vulci.


Day 13
Day 14
Day 15
Day 16
Camping Pineta
Viale Armando Diaz 48, 01023, Bolsena, Italy

The campsite is on the lake. A visit to the medieval old town of Bolsena is a must. Good restaurants can be found by the lake and in the city.


Day 17
Area di sosta camper "La Terrazza di Hermès"
Via Parrelle Civita Giuliana, 27, 80045 Pompei NA, Italien

The SP with a view of Mount Vesuvius is well suited for visiting the ruined city of Pompei. You can walk to an entrance in around 20-25 minutes.


Day 18
Camping Lido Di Salerno, Via Lago Trasimeno, Pontecagnano Faiano, Salerno, Italien
Via Lago Trasimeno, 84098 Pontecagnano Faiano SA, Italien

We drove to this place based on positive reviews. We didn't like it. Apart from the overcrowding and narrow spaces, the sanitary facilities are old and worn out.

The nearby Amalfi Coast is probably one of the reasons for the large number of visitors. In addition, many other campsites were already closed.


Day 19
Day 20
Day 21
Day 22
Area Sosta La Foce dei Tramonti
Via Foce Sele 1, 84063, Paestum, Italy

Cozy campsite on the coast and the mouth of the Sele River. Ideal for canoeists.

The Greek temples in nearby Paestum are easy to get to by bike.


Paestum, Salerno, Italien
84047 Paestum, Salerno, Italien

The temple complexes should be seen. We looked at the facility outside the fence. If you want to know more about it, you have to pay admission


Amalfiküste, Amalfi, Salerno, Italien
84011 Amalfi, Salerno, Italien

With a rental car we drove from the campsite to Salerno. We took the ferry to Positano via the Amalfi station. What can I say: You have to see it. It's just very touristy.


Day 23
Day 24
Matera SP auf einer stillgelegten Kartbahn
SS7, 150, 75100 Matera MT, Italien

Matera with its former cave dwellings (called Sassi) is a must when traveling through Basilicata. This city has an enormous charisma. Even James Bond apparently couldn't resist and parts of the film "No Time to Die" were filmed in Matera.

The SP on the closed kart track was great. The operator has set up a free shuttle service for visiting the city.


Day 25
Area Sosta Alberobello
Via Cadore 2, 70011, Alberobello, Italy

Here you can see the legendary Trulli houses. Very nice.


Day 26
Castel del Monte, Strada Statale 170, Andria, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Italien
Contrada Castel del Monte Ex, Strada Statale 170, 76123 Andria BT, Italien

If you like castles, this is the place for you. The building was built by Friedrich II, a grandson of Barbarossa. Why and for what purpose is largely unknown. In any case, it is very worth seeing.


Parcheggio Chiesa Santa Maria del Monte
SS170dir, 76123 Andria BT, Italien

SP to visit the Castel del Monte.

From there a shuttle bus goes to the castle and back.


Day 27
Day 28
Day 29
Day 30
Day 31
Day 32
Day 33
Vieste, Foggia, Italien
71019 Vieste, Foggia, Italien

Vieste is a very popular travel destination on the Gargano. A whole bunch of CP / SP and restaurants await guests. In autumn, however, the offer is reduced considerably. At the beginning of October almost all restaurants on the beaches close and you can only find open restaurants in the city center.


Day 34
SP Natur Amiga - Cupra Marittima, Italien
Via Piana Santi, 34, 63064 Cupra Marittima AP, Italien

Small, beautiful place above Cupra Marittima. V / E, shower, everything is available


Day 35
Area Parking Nord
Via XXIV Maggio, 43012, Fontanellato, Italy

Day 36
Day 37
Area di sosta Monzambano
Via Generale V. Darra, 38C, 46040 Monzambano MN, Italien

We approached this place near Lake Garda. It was created in a former gravel pit. A small pond complements the facility. The place is apparently popular and a lot of Italians go there on weekends. The area is ideally explored by bike and there is a lot to see. Along the river Mincio one comes Inn the worth seeing Borghetto.

Other destinations: Castellaro Lagusello and of course Lake Garda.


Cascate del Mincio
Via Giotto, 2, 37067 Valeggio sul Mincio VR, Italien

Nice excursion destination to Borghetto.


Borgo di Castellaro Lagusello
Via Castello, 66, 46040 Castellaro Lagusello MN, Italien

Bike excursion to Lagusello


Day 38
Autobahn-Raststätte Vipiteno/Sterzing
39049, Sterzing, Italy

After we tried unsuccessfully to get a place in Lazise on Lake Garda, we preferred to return home and stayed in Sterzing. The separated WoMo SP is ideal for staying overnight and separated from the truck spaces.

In Sterzing there is a public scale on which you can check the vehicle weight for a fee of 1 Euro (for 3.5 tons). The fee is graded according to weight class and is determined by the machine.


Day 39
Brauerei Biberach
Weißenhorner Straße 24, 89297, Roggenburg-Biberach, Germany

Good SP to rest. There is a trusted drinks fridge. V / E available.


Day 40
Fa. Carsten Stäbler, Waghäusel, Deutschland
Friedrich-Schott-Straße 2, 68753 Waghäusel, Deutschland

After we had determined the vehicle weight in Sterzig, we drove by the Stäbler company. We were made an offer for a charge.

Genau mein Ding lese ich nochmal in Ruhe will ich auch machen. Klasse gute Tips

Eine wunderbare Reise. Ihr habt viele schöne Stationen aufgesucht. Zahlreiche Erinnerungen an die letzten 5 Jahre werden wach. Danke dafür! Wir sind nämlich in den letzten 5 Jahren insgesamt 6x à ca. 10 Wochen in Italiens Regionen herumgereist. Klar, mir fallen noch ein paar Highlights zu jeder eurer Destinationen ein. Aber mein Herz gehört Apulien. Und ohne Matera geht es überhaupt nicht. Der SP am Nationalparkzentrum in der Murge Materana, Masseria Radogna, ist dabei ein Muss. Wenn euch Apulien nur annähernd so gut gefallen hat wie uns, dann fahrt noch mal in den Salento. Das ist eine gemütliche und gleichzeitig spektakuläre Krönung. Sizilien ist anders als das übrige Italien, aber ebenfalls herzerwärmend attraktiv.

Danke für den Kommentar und den Tipp für Salento. Es war die erste Reise in die Region und sicher wird eine weitere folgen.
