Burgstadt Camping Park

As you’re a short walk from the medieval fortified city of Kastellaun, your first jaunt off site should be an amble around its plentiful winding alleys and stops among its little shops. Several good restaurants and inns are around too should you fancy tucking into regional tidbits or quaffing top-notch German brews. As you might expect around here, piles of hiking and cycling options are around, with countryside tramps along sections of the 410-kilometre Saar-Hunsrück-Steig hiking trail, or the BurgStadt-Pfad path both nearby. If you’d rather sightsee from the saddle, hire a bike on site and pedal from Kastellaun along the Schinderhannes route, or to the nearby Moselle and the Rhine riverbanks. Over in Bell, a short drive or pedal from base, there’s a big animal park that – alongside lots of lovely furry and feathery farmyard beasties – houses several Siberian tigers; take the kids to peek at feeding time and see other critters like ostriches, eagles and sheep. Also in the area is a high ropes course for lovers of adventures at lofty heights, and Germany’s longest suspension bridge over in Geierlay.
