After a busy drive on Friday we didn’t much fancy negotiating the Munich A99 ring road on Monday morning so we decided to move on today, armed with various suggestions of where to stay in Austria as we head further south towards Croatia.

We left Camping Lech just after 09:00am. The stay cost just short of 30 Euros each night which is a bit more than the ACSI pricing but whilst we paid something for electricity, it wasn’t metered and in the end didn’t cost too much more than Camping Prumtal where we managed to gain an 11 Euro electricity bill for the 2 nights!

The journey today was around 250 miles and the traffic was light with no heavy goods vehicles on the road.

About 20 or 30 miles short of the border between Germany and Austria we stopped for fuel and to purchase the Austrian vignette. We bought a 10 day pass for around 8.90 Euros. The 10 day pass appeared to be the shortest one this particular garage was selling. We don’t  know if that’s usual or not.

 

It took us around 5 hours to travel the 250 miles to Ossiacher See and we chose Camping Bad Ossiacher See, mainly because it’s only a mile or two from the motorway.

This is an ACSI site and the lady at reception was very friendly and helpful. We were offered any pitch for the ACSI price and we chose one nearer to the lake which we believe normally carries a surcharge.

The lady at reception did such a good job of selling the area that we will probably stay around 5 nights and one day will cycle around the lake and another day, cycle to Villach.

Because we are staying a bit longer we decided to use the Isabella Sunshine awning which whilst not as easy as the sun canopy, provides more space and shelter, although after tomorrow the weather looks to be improving throughout the week with forecasted highs of 28 degrees on Thursday.
