Spring is around the corner! The days get longer, the temperatures milder, and the first flowers start blossoming. A campervan trip in spring is ideal, as the tourist crowds are still smaller, the mosquitos and other pesky bugs are not out, and the days still have a nice cool breeze, perfect for exploring and enjoying a fire at night.
But with so many beautiful places to explore in a camper, what are absolute must-see places this spring?

Visit Slovenia for its spring blossoms
Slovenia is a small country bordering Italy and Croatia. The capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, has a rich history, beautiful natural scenery, a lively city.
Ljubljana is a perfect city to explore. You can go kayaking along the river and enjoy stops at one of many little cafés or indulge in some tasty ice cream. Alternatively, you can explore the city by bike and enjoy the spring blossoms in every corner.
Once you have explored the city, head out to the Postojna caves to ride the first railway in a cave or to Lake Bled, where you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset. Both are under an hour away and perfectly reachable by camper.
Our tip: rent a camper or RV with a bicycle rack, as you can explore the city and surrounding areas at your own pace!
Swing by Spain for some sun
Do you need to escape the winter cold and finally jump back into the summer? Then Seville is the perfect getaway for you. Seville is the hottest city in Europe and boasts around 12-13 hours of daylight in March and April.

More than just beer and bratwurst in Germany
You can experience spring without leaving Germany. The Mainau Island at the Bodensee showcases pristine gardens that are maintained not only with love but with excellent environmental practices.
Known affectionately as the Flower Island, the island has something for everyone. There are multiple flower gardens, a butterfly greenhouse, a palm house, an Italian rose garden, a castle and a church, a playground for the kids, and much more. This island is worth a visit.
Best of all, the island is dog friendly, so take your four-legged friend with you this holiday!
