Erzgebirgscamp Neuclausnitz

Erzgebirgscamp Neuclausnitz is a handsomely lofty site set among the Ore Mountains, right on the tree-lined tourist route of German Avenue Road, which runs all the way from the Baltic Sea and lovely Lake Constance. The area is niftily networked by heaps of hiking and cross-country skiing trails and, also splendidly, the site’s handy location alongside the Kammweg Erzgebirge-Vogtland and the Muldental cycle paths means it’s in prime pedalling territory too.

This main attractions at Neuclausnitz are its verily viewsome locale, peaceful vibe and super friendly owner – during days on site, there’s plenty of scenery gazing to keep grownup guests entertained, and kids can keep themselves amply amused with a swing and a slide around the site’s roomy playground too.

For eats, the site has a little café where you can order bread and rolls for breakfast, which should set you up splendidly for days out and about hiking, cycling and sightseeing. Barbecues are allowed too, so when you return in the evening chuck some chicken on the grill, crack open a beverage and settle back to survey your smashing surrounds. And if you fancy yourself as an astronomer, the stargazing will be pretty stellar around here too.

Pitches are grassy and surrounded by trees and a greenly scenic mountainscape beyond and, renovated in 2016, the sanitary facilities are swish, modern and well-maintained, consisting of toilets, washbasins and hot showers, as well as an outdoor washing-up area. A free wifi service is available too – handy for sharing all your snaps of the beaut scenery that's around.

The park's amenable owner welcomes lone riders and groups of motorcyclists, and pet pooches are allowed on site too.
