camping
- 1 Out and back campsite (The campsite is located directly on the Danube, behind the town hall.). Tel.: 49 7571 50411. Redesigned place that relies heavily on outdoor events. Inexpensive for cyclists in transit, but not necessarily quiet for groups due to the location of the simple tent meadows right next to the log cabins. Ear plugs recommended. The sanitary facilities for this area are also rather basic, but okay for one night. The plots for longer stays, on the other hand, are nicely designed and have high-quality sanitary facilities. Motorhome parking space directly adjacent.
