Quiet pitch at the Bertrada castle Mürlenbach
A gravel pitch near Hillesheim in the Vulkaneifel, 200 square metres for motorhomes, with electricity and drinking water. From the pitch you can see Bertradaburg — according to legend, the mother of Charlemagne lived here. All around are forested mountains and river valleys, quiet except for the wind in the trees. In the morning you get breakfast from the bakery in town, five minutes on foot. If you want to go hiking, you start on the Bertrada Loop, thirteen kilometres through the hills. A short stay. The pitch doesn't want to be anything more than that.1

Sights in the area1
Bertradaburg
A Carolingian castle said to have housed Charlemagne's mother. Visible from the pitch; an afternoon is enough for a walk around it.
Dreimühlen Waterfall
A growing tufa waterfall near Nohn in the Eifel, one of the few you may step onto. A short walk from the car park, good for a stopover.
Braunebach Nature Reserve
The Braunebach valley shows wild orchids in early summer. A loop of about three quarters of an hour that works with a dog too.
Trier
Germany's oldest city, around 42 kilometres away, with the Porta Nigra and amphitheatre. The Römerpfad links the monuments into a day trip.
