Hi just been touring up the Mosel for last 3 weeks and now on Stellplatz at Traben-Trarbach.€10 a night with showers water WiFi and elect. No wonder we never go far in UK with prices so low in Germany. It is about time UK loweted its prices.

Have you been to Wintrich - just a bit further on (and on the other side of the river)? Nice stellplatz there (similar cost) and there's a great little bar/restaurant in the middle of the village that does excellent schnitzel and sells wine from the local weingut (Marx) - the Riesling Trocken is great!

Hi Bill-OR.
Have used 90% of all Stellplatz on the Mosel as this is our 5th trip up or down Mosel.

Hi forest boy. We have a 125 with us on this trip. Used to tow our Honda 600 or the 250. So much fun to be hsd on 2 wheels.

We start our trip home Friday. Will use Belgium roads as France is on strike. Glad we filled up in Luxembourg and extra 20ltrs.

Hi mick noe. Bord Atlas is same as aires book Bord Atlas has 2 large books. One for Germany one for Europe they weigh a ton they are in German but easy enough to understand. All Stellplatz positions in GPS format very accurate

It is wine fest the whole of September at the Mosel stellplatz are very busy. Lots of the stellplatz have Wallnut trees ready for picking. We collected 20lb of them 2 years ago. The Dutch and Germans go mad for them. It can be a scrum.

Assuming you are going via Lille into Belgium enroute South a couple of options are:

1 - Before Lille, Berques
2 - In Belgium closer to Luxembourg Han Sur Less

We travelled from the Mosel to Gravelines aire yesterday and found not one garage in France closed. All had fuel. Some did put prices up. We got fuel in Belgium on our trip but we could have got Diesel at the SuperU near Gravelines.

Thank you all, we found this very informative, as we were looking at alternatives to our pre planned Brittany trip, booked Tunnel in less than 2 weeks...think we are heading to Luxembourg, Black Forest, Mosel, Lake Constance instead. Its our first time crossing the water...very excited!!! Appreciate all the tips on the books/Apps to buy re Stellplatz. (y)(y)(y)

Hi mowbotman. Our cards work fine as long as you understand the card machines at garages. Some still do not have different languages but there is always someone to help. We do always carry euros with us to much most times. Some Stellplatz and Aires do have card payment entry or exit machines but there is always someone to help. We did see a Belgium man unbolt an exit barrier arm when it did not work he did refit it. Don't worry
