In this blog post, I am sharing with you our 2-week Germany road trip itinerary. We went all across the country in a camper van, driving over 2000km, exploring many hidden gems in Germany. As a German, I haven't seen as much of Germany as I'd like to so this road trip was the perfect opportunity to discover some new places in my home country.
This is our full 2-week itinerary:
We started and ended in Dresden, Saxony.
Major stops:
- Schwielowsee, Potsdam (4 nights) Camping site: Schwielowsee-Camping (our favourite campsite of the trip)
- Steinhuder Meer, near Hannover (1 night) Camping site: Wohnmobilstellplatz Steinhude Bruchdamm
- Aachen
- Reil Mosel (1 night) Camping site: Wohnmobilstellplatz Reil Mosel
- Rottenburg (2 nights) Camping site: Camping Paul Walther
- Rothenburg ob der Tauber (2 nights) Camping site: Campingplatz Tauber-Idyll
- Altmühltal (2 nights) Camping site: 7 Täler Campingplatz
How we organised/booked everything
We had the first campsite booked in advanced. We also booked most of the other ones a day or two in advance, simply by calling them. Although we enjoyed being spontaneous, looking back we'd plan and book a little more in advance. Just so it's not as stressful throughout the vacation. Because summer holidays were starting during our road trip the campsite was quite busy and some of them were fully booked. So calling in advance is for sure recommended.
Corona-restrictions
Luckily there weren't many restrictions throughout our travels besides wearing masks to washrooms and public spaces as well as social distancing. Some campsite, unfortunately, closed their washing and showing facilities or reduced capacity. However, it was all manageable and no issue for us. :)
