EUROPE: 7 top motorhoming destinations (in under 7 minutes)

I did a video recently on our motorbiking channel about the five best places we've been riding in Europe, which then led to a debate about our favorite places that we've been motorhoming around Europe. It started off as a top three, then it kind of grew to a top five and now it stopped at seven and even that was tough to narrow it down to. So here are seven of our favorite places that we've motorhomed in Europe so far. We'll start with a place which was at the top of both of our lists, the Italian Dolomites. This place was just jaw-droppingly spectacular. Every corner was another spot where you just had to stop and take photos. Two of our favorite roads were Sella Pass and Trichyme where you can actually spend a night at the top of the mountain in your van. Despite a little altitude sickness, it's still one of the most memorable moments weather, it rained for almost three weeks solid when we went. We were blown away by the scenery, the people and yes, the cost. There's a post on the Wandering Bird website where we detail how much the trip cost us. I'll leave a link in the notes for you if you're interested. But despite the expense, it was still one of our favorite motorhoming destinations and we're planning to go back again in October, fingers crossed. One of the things we love most about Norway, apart from the friendliness of the people and the incredible scenery, is how you don't need campsites. Pretty much everywhere is safe for you to just park up next to an incredible fjord and spend the night there. If you like wild camping, this is absolutely the destination for you. There's no way we could do a video like this and not include the Swiss Alps. It was in this exact spot that we started talking about changing our lives and we had wild talks about me quitting my job and us traveling long term. Six months later I'd handed my notice in but it was right here that it all started. Whilst you're on the road, be sure to stop at the Gammelband funicular which is one of the oldest and steepest mountain railways in existence. It goes up a gradient of 106 percent. And right at the bottom of that funicular is an amazing rope bridge right across the canyon, which is probably not a place for you if you don't like height, but it's got incredible views as well. Ah Germany, we visited this beautiful country so many times it's almost impossible to pick a favorite area. But don't miss the south where there's Zugspitze and Hitler's Eagle Nest and Neuschwanstein and Hohenzollern castles. You could spend months just exploring this area alone. Oh and don't miss the toboggan run, possibly the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on. Next up, Croatia. We only spent four days here and we can't wait to return. Such a friendly country and so many beautiful places to explore. If you're visiting Plitvice Lakes, get there early and don't miss the beautiful city of Zadar and the incredible singing steps. We've only spent a couple of days in Denmark and we're looking forward to going back. Although the country was much flatter than we anticipated, the spots that we could stop in overnight like this one were just breathtaking. So hopefully we can go back to explore very soon. And finally, France. As with most places we're drawn to the mountains and France has some spectacular ones. From the Alps to the Pyrenees those views never get boring. We've also recently explored the magnificent Verdun Gorge where our motorhome caught fire and over winter we took our van to Mont Dore in the snow. Whether you're in the north or the south there are so many places in France to enjoy. So there we go, seven of our favorite motorhoming destinations in Europe in under seven minutes. If you are planning your own European adventure, you might find either of these videos useful. Don't forget to grab your free European motorhoming checklist from the Wandering Bird website.
