Through Austria by motorhome

We have now travelled through Austria by motorhome. The day before yesterday it was time to leave Italy. We drove north from Verona and entered Austria via the Brenner Pass.

We had to buy a vignette to put on the windscreen (€8.50) and also pay a motorway toll (€9), but you can smile and look happy. If we had a heavier motorhome, we would also have had to get a Gobox, which we didn't have to do as our motorhome has a maximum registered weight of 3.5 tonnes. Once we entered beautiful Austria, it was time to find somewhere to spend the night ...

Driving through Austria with a motorhome

We drove towards Insbruck and then in a north-westerly direction towards Tirol camp Leutasch, which we set the GPS to. We had to drive a long way on roads that wound steeply uphill and then even more uphill.

Driving in the high mountains of Austria is incredibly beautiful. Occasionally you'll come across a castle or a small village with charming houses that look just like you'd expect them to in Austria, with long wooden balconies, carved bears and paintings on the outside of each house.

Finding a place for the night

There are several year-round campsites in Austria. We chose one that was northeast of Innsbruck, as we then had plans in that direction. Eventually we arrived ... only to find that the campsite was closed.

Fortunately, there were car parks outside the campsite with electric poles where you could put in coins to get electricity, so we stayed there overnight. We had no code for the campsite's WiFi, but we managed to buy a sim card with 5 GIG (!) for 10 euros in the nearest supermarket. Easy and cheap!
