A guest post by campspace

When the days get shorter and the first snow falls, it doesn't mean that you have to send the camper to hibernation. Winter camping is becoming more and more a trend and for good reason: When camping in winter, you can look forward to quieter campsites, cozy evenings by the crackling campfire and picturesque snowy landscapes.

The campsites and pitches that we list in this article are also in the cold season open to you and over campspace to book. The Dutch booking portal offers a selection of mostly private campsites and parking spaces, but also other near-natural accommodations, such as tree houses and tipi tents. The platform wants to give its guests the opportunity to enjoy nature in the vicinity and to give an incentive to forego long journeys. In doing so, it makes a contribution to more sustainable tourism by shortening the journey and avoiding climate-damaging means of transport such as airplanes.

But you should be comfortably and thickly wrapped up when camping in winter

Sustainable outdoor activities for winter camping

When you think of outdoor activities in winter, skiing comes to mind. Unfortunately, the large ski facilities are a disaster for the environment. Not only the ski facility itself, for which kilometers of forest have to be cleared, but also the usually long journey to a ski area. The majority of CO2 emissions in tourism come from transport.

Fortunately, there are sustainable outdoor activities that don't require a long journey and are just as fun:

Cross-country ski runs, tobogganing, hiking - gentle winter activities

The Norwegian word Loipen means cross-country skiing in German. There are more than 2.000 varied cross-country trails throughout Germany, so you don't have to travel long for a cross-country ski tour. This makes it a sustainable winter sport that is a lot of fun, trains your circulation and in the meantime you can enjoy the snowy nature.

In winter there is hardly a better way to discover the snow-covered landscapes than with a sledge. Tobogganing is not only fun for children, it is also an exciting outdoor activity for adults. Almost everywhere in Germany you can find hills and mountains for one or the other rapid descent. One should only take into account the nature and private fields of farmers.

Relaxing silence in snow-covered valleys and forests and fresh air to breathe deeply. Winter hikes have a very special charm. All you need is proper clothing and a suitable hiking trail. You should note that the days are shorter and should therefore choose shorter hiking trails so that you can get back to the campsite when it gets dark.

Meanwhile, you can really relax at winter camping, let your mind wander and gather strength for the next cross-country ski tour, winter hike or sledge tour.
