Doktorsee, Rinteln

 Tuesday 11/06/24


We left Hirschhorn on Monday morning and headed north to get closer to our house-sit.  We broke the journey into two day's travel and spent last night in a camp outside Hünfeld, hitting the road again early this morning.  

Although the traffic on our side was heavy, at least it was moving, unlike the other side!

It's a relief to get away from the hustle and bustle of the motorway.

The landscape has changed from the very hilly, wooded South.

We're finding the German roads very busy, especially as our allowable speed is restricted so we spend most of our time in the trucking lane.  There also seem to be an extraordinary amount of road works, so a lot of narrowing lanes and slow moving traffic.  We didn't cover a huge distance, but broke the journeys into smaller chunks with long breaks - the advantage of having your bed and kitchen behind your car.

We're now staying in a holiday park based around a series of lakes, and, although quiet at the moment, it looks like it must be hugely popular in the summer holidays.  There are loads of static caravans of all shapes and sizes as well as touring sites, glamping pods and bungalows on site.  

I like to book ahead the day before just to make sure we get into the site we have chosen, but clearly needn't have bothered here.  We were the only campers when we arrived, and so far only three cyclists with tents and one other motorhome have joined us for the night.

Me, realising I probably didn't need to book ahead...

We should have a quiet night. 😄

There are hundreds of caravans, most will never see a road again.



We'll spend two nights here and then head off to meet our house-sit hosts on Thursday, when we get to be in a house again for 5 weeks or so.

Our happy place - walking in the woods.
