I think it's just a German atlas, possibly with parking places for motorhomes. If you Google again, and click on the " translate this page " you should get it in English. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losos Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yes, I've been advised to get it today. It's only published in German but seems to be the 'bible' for Stellplatz and camp sites in Germany. Might have to brush up my German a bit !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Quite correct Losos. If you do a search I think Way To Go posted a file of stellplatz poi's that can be imported to autoroute and maybe tom tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homenaway Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi,I recently bought a copy of this year's edition for about £17 post free from Amazon UK! It arrived in a few days. It is all in German except a glossary in English and is in two volumes Germany and rest of Europe. As well as stellplatz it lists motorhome overnight parking places at restaurants and some campsites. Just remember "kostenlos" means free ie no parking charge. We wouldn't travel to Germany without it! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HymerVan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Bord Atlas comes in two volumes one for Germany and one for rest of Europe (normally sold together). Claims to cover over 5600 "Camping Stops". I haven't visited them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Neither has anyone else Laurence! But I certainly found the books VERY useful on our lst trip eastwards - far more so than the CC Europe book, which we also had with us. Volume 2 is smaller, and covers lots of countries, so inevitably its range is limited, but Vol 1 is really all anyone needs for travelling in Germany in a MH.

Losos Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Tony - "If God had meant us to fly, He wouldn't have given us motorhomes!" Nice signature, with God's agreement I will never have to put myself through the nightmare of flying ever again !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
