In 2019, the car was used by 44% of the German and even 52.9% of the Austrian population for their main vacation trip. Hours of traffic jams, broken air conditioning, hardly any freedom of movement due to an almost uncountable number of bags and headaches from the sun, which strangely seems to shine directly into your eyes in every direction of travel? These are probably the thoughts of most people who have ever gone on vacation by car. But don't worry - that doesn't have to be the case. Glamping not only has a lot to offer as an alternative form of holiday , but the local conditions also allow you to travel comfortably by public transport .
We're leaving the stress at home on this vacation
After the first few sentences, an image has probably appeared in your head that reminds you of long car rides in the past. Children screaming in the back seat, a broken navigation device and a full trunk: everyone who takes the risk of traveling to the holiday destination experiences all of this. Glamping offers you the advantage that your dream accommodation is waiting for you at your destination and you don't have to pack it into your own car or travel with it. You can only pack the bare essentials and enjoy the luxury on site and don't have to lug around half the household items for basic supplies like when camping.
This gives you and your family the advantage of being able to plan your arrival and departure yourself, but you can leave the implementation entirely to the bus, train and the like .
So of course it's up to you whether you take the train to your destination in a relaxed manner and devour an interesting book while you're at it, or whether you'd rather let the drops of sweat on your forehead race while you're still stuck in a traffic jam on the Brenner motorway suddenly the 3,000 cars in front of you spontaneously decide to leave the motorway at the next exit, giving you free travel.
The journey is the destination - actively experience the journey
You've finally arrived at your holiday destination, you know every rut on the highway and every rest area by heart, but you don't actually know what the rest of the environment looked like? Your family talks about the great castle that they supposedly saw on the trip and how beautiful all the forests and meadows were, but you can't join in the conversation because you didn't notice one or the other? In addition to the chance to travel by public transport, glamping also gives you the chance to actively participate in the journey and to be able to enjoy the holiday feeling even earlier - without any stressful driving.
For the bargain hunters among you
You shouldn't be stingy on vacation - an unwritten rule. Nevertheless, you can save a lot of money when traveling to your glamping site if you use public transport. No expensive gas stations and no parking fees, but a transfer service to the train station and back - what more could you want? Many glamping accommodations even issue so-called guest cards , which you can use to get cheaply from one attraction to the next in your holiday destination. And it's not just there that you can reduce your expenses: rental bikes , which almost every glamping site now offers, can also take you from one place to another inexpensively.
The globe is happy
As if glamping combined with public transport didn't have enough benefits, it also has a positive impact on the environment. By deciding to take a comfortable bus ride and not use the CO²-slinging car, you are contributing to a healthier planet because, calculated per passenger, a bus produces far fewer emissions than a normal car.
So far, so good - you want your next glamping holiday to be stress-free? Then grab your train tickets and enjoy the benefits of public transport!
