Pitch: Christine Schönhacker

Leila and Florian's journey with Schau aufs Land and myvanture began in Vienna. They picked up their VW California Beach at the Vienna location and received a thorough introduction. To prevent any technical issues on their trip, the campervan was explained to Leila and Florian from top to bottom, and all their technical questions were answered. Now, their adventure with Schau aufs Land could begin! On the first day, the two globetrotters drove to Wachau to enjoy the vineyard landscape at sunset.

Day 2: Sonnentor visit, Ysperklamm hike

Activity: Visit Sonnentor in Sprögnitz, hike Ysperklamm

Day 3: Drive to Upper Austria, Orth Castle & Traunsee

Route: From Wachau to Upper Austria

In the morning, they spent time with the alpacas and llamas at the Schau aufs Land pitch and even got to feed them. Afterwards, they drove towards Upper Austria to Orth Castle and Traunsee.

Day 4: Attersee, drive to Schau aufs Land pitch "Edingerhof"

Route: From Attersee to the new pitch
Pitch: Edingerhof

The big advantage of myvanture campervans is the flexibility and independence they offer for travel. If the leisure battery is sufficiently charged, you can even free camp off-grid. Leila and Florian started their day completely relaxed with coffee at Attersee and worked from their campervan. Afterwards, they drove to the next Schau aufs Land pitch, "Edingerhof."

Day 5: Fuschlsee, drive to Ramsau am Dachstein; Schau aufs Land pitch "Hotel Berghof"

After sunrise at Fuschlsee, Leila and Florian drove to Ramsau am Dachstein for the yak and alpaca feeding at the Schau aufs Land pitch "Edingerhof."

Pitch: Winery Distillery Da Finz

The beauty of the mountains and lakes, along with a variety of outdoor activities like cycling and hiking trails on scenic routes to cozy huts in the alpine pastures, make this region around the Austrian town of Hallstatt so popular. Käsespätzle and Kaiserschmarrn are two other dishes you absolutely must try. They spent the night at the Schau aufs Land pitch "Weingut Destillerie Da Finz."

Day 7: Picnic at the winery, overnight stay at Schau aufs Land pitch "Bio Weinhof Lang"

Activities: Picnic at the winery
Pitch: Bio Weinhof Lang

Occasionally, it's perfectly fine to enjoy a glass of wine. Especially when you get to camp at a Schau aufs Land winery. That's probably what Leila and Florian thought too, as they spent some time enjoying a culinary picnic surrounded by nature.

Day 8: Graz city tour

Activities: City tour of Graz
Pitch: Glatzl Trahütten Alm

Graz is a vibrant metropolis with many activities, attractions, and cultural treasures. The two travelers didn't want to miss out on Styria's capital. Luckily, they had rented a compact campervan, so finding a spot in an underground car park was no problem. Now, the city tour of Graz could begin.

Day 9: Vienna city tour

Activities: City tour of Vienna
Pitch: Feldhof

After a magical, starry night at the Schau aufs Land pitch "Feldhof" in the alpine pasture, Leila and Florian made their way to Vienna, stopping at the last pitch of their journey. Tip: If you want to make a stopover in an Austrian city, we recommend these parking spots.

Day 10: Campervan return in Vienna

Every journey eventually comes to an end. After all the culinary experiences and idyllic pitches from Schau aufs Land, it was time to return the campervan to the myvanture location in Vienna. After a quick check-in and inspection of the camper, it was handed over and prepared for the next rental.

Conclusion: 10-Day Road Trip Through Austria with Schau aufs Land

It was more than just an ordinary road trip through Austria in a campervan. For Leila and Florian, this wasn't their last time renting a campervan. Traveling in a campervan is an opportunity to be free and independent. Stop whenever it suits you, go wherever you want, and let nature's untouched beauty inspire you. Meet new animal friends, enjoy delicious cuisine, and let the landscape move you. It would be impossible to discover all of Austria's fascinating activities and landscapes in just ten days.

The globetrotters are counting the days until they have the chance to book a campervan again and explore the unique and idyllic pitches of Schau aufs Land.
