The Hamburg start-up Pop-up camps was born of necessity in the last Corona summer – what to do with all the people who push their way into the green at home? In response, temporary parking spaces, often linked to activities, are offered. The Ferropolis festival and industrial museum site on the Gremminer See, a flooded open-cast mine in Saxony-Anhalt, now also offers parking spaces. Or you can stay with the sports facility operator Go102 in Brandenburg, Europe’s largest outdoor go-kart track. Managing Director Jobst von Paepcke calls this “offers for Anders campers in Germany” and currently has over 500 pop-up hosts in the system.
On the mediation platform Good travel sustainable accommodation has been found since 2016. This also includes “glamping”, which means that someone provides a large tent or a stylish caravan with a little more comfort. The glamping filter function leads, for example, to the Kunterbunthof near the Baltic Sea, where you can not only sleep in yurts, tiny houses or your own tent, but also take part in farm work or current construction projects if you wish. “The current crisis has once again made it clear to us that a ‘business as usual’ in the tourism industry cannot be the goal,” explain the founders Franziska Diallo and Judith Hehl.
For six years now, Landreise.de has been arranging holidays on country estates, farms, winegrowers or even riding stables all over Europe – and has created an additional portal with idyllic pitches far away from large campsites for the booming camping industry. Now you can go over www.camping.landreise.de wild camping with them, but legally.
On glampings.de There are currently over 1000 accommodations listed in 15 countries, says the Karlsruhe web entrepreneur Tobias Rebel, arranged according to practical subgroups, such as “Glamping near an amusement park”, “Glamping for physically handicapped people” with barrier-free accommodations or “Glamping for groups” .
Yurts, the interior of which does not have much in common with the Mongolian model, are very popular.
