Intro

For a camping holiday, you don't necessarily need a car or a motorhome. Those who take their time practice "Slow Camping." In addition to slowing down, sustainability is also a priority. Slow campers travel on two wheels, by train, or a combination of both. As the name suggests, Slow Camping is all about slowing down, deceleration, and experiencing nature. The journey itself is part of the holiday experience, which you can consciously and leisurely enjoy.
Let us inspire you on how to plan and organize camping holidays by train or bike, so you can leave a minimal carbon footprint on your travels while also having an unforgettable experience.
