I come from the beautiful Rhineland, I usually travel with my husband & dog and that in a van or car and a roof tent to hike, read, cook and, if possible, sit by the fire in the evenings.
We are very respectful of the overnight stays and of course leave them clean (also with regard to possible dog legacies).
The typical campsite atmosphere is sometimes a bit too narrow and too loud for us, so we are very happy to discover natural places here.
