The walk through the CMT camping trade fair in Stuttgart once again showed how strongly customer wishes can have an impact when it comes to specific interests in their implementation. Why this almost always works in the camping and leisure industry is sometimes just a mystery.

The beginning of autumn is a special time for everyone! The various teams at Frankana Freiko are working at full speed, including in preparation for the 12th in-house exhibition.

Anyone who comes to Weimar on the second weekend in October will experience the famous Weimar Onion Market, the oldest and largest folk festival in Thuringia with around 360,000 visitors. The celebration lasts for three days every second weekend in October - the 370th edition will take place from October 13th to 15th, 2023.

Certainly “the” highlight during this year’s meeting of fans and freaks of the bicycle caravan scene – the approximately 10-kilometre-long tour around the town of Luckenau led by Jörg.

It was just before 5 p.m. Numerous guests were already gathering in front of the doors of the Bonhoeffer Hall in the EBW, including a striking number of young people and children. Grimme award winner Adnan Maral, known to many as Metin Öztürk from the Culture Clash cinema hit "Turkish for Beginners" and from the ARD evening series of the same name, was expected.

Almost every minute, open or glass-enclosed excursion boats from a wide variety of providers are on the Amsterdam canals, and that in almost any weather. Although there was light continuous rain, it couldn't stop us from cycling into the city centre this time as well.

We were up early and our way should first lead to the paddock at Schleizer Dreieck, where there was already a lot of activity. Wonderful to look at this huge collection of historic and new motorcycles and to get into conversation with many a participant.

In addition to social gatherings, a village festival always means the presentation of the various trades and the associated machine technology - what luck if the residents still have old technology or even put their craftsmanship to the test.

The Schleizer Dreieck is a temporary motorsport racetrack in Thuringia near the town of Schleiz.

The so-called paddock is part of a motorsport site and describes the area where the participants and their vehicles are housed during an event.

Our tour to the Czech Republic was supposed to lead via Dresden, so that we wanted to visit the Bastei Bridge again following the Elbe, this time as a hike directly from the Elbe bank.

The name of the camper fair in Warsaw that is now being visited differs significantly from the well-known camping and caravan fairs in the huge halls, so the focus here should no longer just be on the wide range of camping vehicles and the associated equipment.

As the name of the camper fair in Warsaw suggests, the wide range of camping vehicles and the associated equipment should no longer be the sole focus here.

f.re.e is Bavaria's largest travel and leisure fair. Since 1970 it has been offering inspiration, information and the right equipment for your travels and leisure activities. Using the example of some pictures from the manufacturer Kuckoo, we would like to document the innovative development in the camping industry.

Especially on the road in Hamburg, there was also the opportunity to include the Hamburger Motorradtage, HMT for short, at the local exhibition center in our visit program.

The Binnenalster is Hamburg's gem and is always worth a trip, whether on foot, by car or by Alster steamer, although it's actually not a lake.

We continued our visit to various fishing locations on the North Sea and continued to Neuharlingersiel, which, apart from Greetsiel, is probably the only real fishing port, at least that is the first impression when looking into the port.

A few centuries ago, where Harlesiel is today, there was a foothills of the North Sea. Anyone who, like us and a few others, is not afraid of the rainy storm and high water on the North Sea could find out here what wind speeds actually mean.

Despite heavy storms and sometimes heavy downpours, we wanted to use our presence on the North Sea to visit the old fishing ports of Carolinensiel, Harlesiel and Neuharlingersiel.

We had heard several times about the Geiseltalsee, an opencast mining lake in southern Saxony-Anhalt, which is one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. Now, finally, a visit to the lake should take place.
