5 Motorhome Routes in Germany You Will Love
Romantic river valleys, crystal-clear mountain lakes, and vast sandy beaches: Germany offers many exceptional places to camp. Here, you'll find the most beautiful road trip routes in Germany – from the Bavarian Alps to the sea.
When it comes to the most beautiful motorhome routes, the German Alpine Road is a must. Over 484 kilometers, you’ll find breathtaking views around every bend. The route stretches from Lake Constance to Berchtesgaden National Park. Along the way, you can camp by sparkling blue mountain lakes or stay at charming farmhouses.
With all the dizzying hairpin turns, it's best if you're not a motorhome novice. There are plenty of beautiful spots to pause: this route passes by fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein and the most picturesque small towns in the Alps.

This route takes you past orchards, vibrant vineyards, and tranquil valleys. It almost feels a bit like Tuscany. You can also park your camper at lovely wineries and enjoy a cool glass of the finest Baden wines on your pitch in the evening.
The next morning, well-rested, you can continue your journey. Over nearly 500 kilometers, there are so many interesting stops that you’ll never get bored. The route starts in the Upper Rhine and ends in Weil am Rhein, near the Swiss border. Don’t forget your hiking boots for tours through the beautiful Black Forest!

Did you know that there are several UNESCO routes in Germany? The best road trip starts at the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea and takes you through Hanseatic cities and three national parks in just one week.
A special insider tip is the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park, which offers miles of beaches and beautiful camping spots. At the end of the day, you’ll always find yourself near the water – either with your feet in the sand or sitting on a bench at one of the North German harbors.

Do you have three to four weeks and want to see as much of Germany as possible? Then you should take a closer look at the German Avenue Road. Stretching over 2,900 kilometers, this panoramic road winds like a green ribbon from the island of Rügen to Lake Constance. Here, you’ll literally drive from the mountains to the sea – or from the sea to the mountains.
Germany's longest holiday route is divided into several stages. You can choose the section that best fits your travel plans. Generally, the avenues in northern and Eastern Germany are better preserved than those in the southern regions. There are plenty of campsites along the road – from rustic to luxurious.

Route of Rhine Romance
The Rhine Valley boasts a thousand-year history and is undoubtedly one of the scenic highlights in Germany. Castles, vineyards, and of course, the Rhine itself define the region. In 2002, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley was even designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The 360-kilometer route stretches from Cologne to Mainz, taking you through three federal states – always following the Rhine. You can take a break at the many campsites along the water, such as the Knaus campsite in Koblenz. Don't miss: the water castle in Bingen am Rhein and the city of Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet at the Deutsches Eck.
