Go on a culinary journey of discovery with the mobile home

With the camper through Styria

Our culinary voyages of discovery we usually do it with our own car and spend the night in nearby hotels. But of course there is another way. For example, one of our favorite culinary regions, the Styria in Austria, also explore well with the camper. This spring we were in three different culinary very interesting areas of Styria on the road, and some camper voyagers should pay attention to certain things:

Vulcano ham in a large selection to take away

Steep mountain roads — Not all steep mountain roads are suitable for campers

Some producers of Styrian specialties are remote

Not every manufacturer of Styrian specialties can be reached via broad federal highways. Even if the Zotter chocolate factory or the cheese artist in Riegersburg are easy to reach, the ham paradise of Vulcano is more remote. In southern Styria, the pleasure shelf in Ehrenhausen is easy to find. It becomes more difficult with remote wine taverns, which can only be reached via the narrow lanes of the South Styrian Wine Route. And even on the Schilcher Wine Road, it is difficult with larger vehicles to climb the steep paths up to the winegrowers on the slopes above the valley. In other places the path goes through narrow forest paths with low-hanging branches. Therefore, motorhome drivers should inform themselves by telephone before their journey to the winegrowers, the seed oil producers or the ham manufacturers of their choice, how the journey with the motorhome is best and easiest to accomplish.

Parking lot - pretty tight with the motorhome — The parking lot at Genussshaus Ehrenhausen is sufficient for motorhomes

Parking is not always set up for campers

While in most cases it shouldn't be a problem for farmers or winegrowers to park the mobile home on the edge of the field or path, this is not always the case. In the narrow and steep slopes of the South Styrian Wine Route, it is sometimes difficult for cars to find a parking space at the Heurigen of their choice, especially in summer or autumn when the rush is high during the holiday season or the harvest season. The motorhome makes that difficult. Here, too, it is worthwhile to clarify beforehand whether it is sufficient Parking for a mobile home is available. The same applies to holidays in the spring months.
