Historic Hanseatic city of Stade

Hello everyone 👋,

Our stay in the former Hanseatic city of Stade ⛵️🏰 is slowly drawing to a close. There's so much to see here that we spontaneously decided to extend our stay by one night before heading on to Cuxhaven tomorrow. The historic old town with its historic harbor, numerous small half-timbered houses, and charming alleyways is well worth seeing. We also decided to take a guided city tour. It was very worthwhile, and we learned a lot about the city's history.

Our campsite is located directly in front of the historic old town and is run by the Hanseatic city of Stade. The individual pitches are clearly numbered and separated from each other by small hedges. The ground is quite level, so we didn't need leveling ramps. All pitches are equipped with an electrical hookup. Charging is done with a prepaid card, which is issued by the payment machine at check-in. Each time the card is tapped on the power outlet, €3 of electricity credit is deducted.  The cost per kilowatt-hour is 75 cents. If there is a remaining balance upon departure, it can be credited back to the prepaid card. The campsite is very quiet. Occasionally, you might hear a train in the distance or an ambulance, which we consider perfectly acceptable for a city parking lot. The washroom facilities are very clean and modern. The doors are also opened with the prepaid card, and there is no charge for this. At the front, there are three toilets with sinks. Behind the second door are four showers with toilets and sinks, a bathroom for people with disabilities, and a utility room with a washing machine and dryer. The water and waste disposal station is located directly at the entrance to the campsite. We paid €1 for approximately 40 liters of water. The entrance is currently being modernized from November 3, 2025, until approximately mid-December 2025. The campsite remains open during this time, and there is a construction discount on the pitch fee, which we think is very fair.  The overnight stay costs €10 plus the city tax of Stade. We really enjoyed our stay here. Stade is a very beautiful little port city and definitely worth a visit. We would love to come back.

Ferry trip from Esbjerg to Fanø

Image
Good morning everyone, On Thursday we had two firsts. Our first time abroad with a motorhome and our first time on a ferry. We were glad we had our #wise card with us. This allowed us to pay with crowns at the barrier upon entering the ferry terminal. Since the motorhome categories only differentiate between under 6 m and under 12 m, our "Patrick" now belongs to the really big category. The receipt also shows the lane we have to get into. We had virtually no waiting time and were able to board the first ferry that had just entered the harbor. After that, Patrick started his first swimming lesson. A little nervous and with shaky knees, he mastered it very well. Now we're off to our campsite, and more later. Best camper greetings from Tabbis Travels

Hangar 19 in Schwerin

Image
Hello everyone, we ended up in Schwerin, the state capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, at the "Hangar 19" camper van park. We were very lucky, booking quite spontaneously during peak season, to get spots for two camper vans right on the water. For larger camper vans, it is advisable to arrive via Walther-Rathenauer Straße. Google Maps directed us through side streets where there was no way to avoid oncoming traffic. The reception was very friendly, and everything was explained to us. There is a small but clean and modern washroom on the site. The size is appropriate for the site, and there are rarely any waits. There is also a great Italian restaurant. With your parking card, you get a 10% discount there. The jetty is also open to campers. There is a pool ladder there that takes you into Lake Schwerin for a swim. We really enjoyed it here and will definitely come back.

Motorhome parking space at Lauenburg Marina

Image
Hello everyone, We've driven through Lauenburg many times, but today we stopped for the first time on our way back from Denmark. The parking space is right on the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. The plots are divided into two levels, so you have a good view of the canal even from the upper level. The pitches are level but quite small. One awning can't be fully opened. Our vehicle is parked right on the edge of the parking space, and on the other side, we're only about 1.5 meters from the edge. The harbormaster runs a small restaurant called "Skippertreff," where you can eat quite well. Behind the restaurant is the washroom with showers and toilets, which you can enter for 50 cents. Showers cost extra. The nearby B209 road and the bridge are very busy during the week starting at 4 a.m. I'm a light sleeper and woke up from the noise. The parking space is fine for one night, though. Today our trip ends and we head home. Best camper greetings Tabbis Travels
