With the Carado T457 to Kramsach With the Carado T457 to Kramsach

When we started our Carado T457 motorhome in Munich on a sunny August day, we didn't know exactly what adventure awaited us. Our destination: Kramsach in Austria, just a few hours away. But even the journey there was an experience for us, Richard, Nora and our little Tavi. We drove through the idyllic villages of southern Germany and Austria, and it was as if every bend in the road prompted us to shift down a gear - quite literally.

As we navigated our motorhome through narrow, winding streets, we felt the pace of everyday life slow down. The deceleration was practically forced upon us - but it was exactly what we needed. And when things got tricky, the locals were there to help us with advice and support. One of the highlights of the trip was definitely the friendliness that you often only encounter when travelling in such rural areas.

After a relaxed ride, we arrived at the campsite in Kramsach, which turned out to be a true paradise for nature lovers. The site was located right next to a beautiful, crystal-clear lake. Not only did we have a marvellous view of the surrounding mountains from the camper van, we could practically jump straight into the refreshing water from the camper. An absolute luxury for us as a family - Tavi was, of course, immediately delighted.
The proximity to the mountains allowed us to take daily trips on the mountain railway, which took us to breathtaking peaks. Once at the top, we hiked through green mountain pastures, among peacefully grazing cows and horses. It felt like travelling back in time to a world where the clocks ticked even slower. The peace and quiet of these hikes were exactly what we had hoped for on this holiday.

Of course, our motorhome played a central role. The Carado T457 not only became our home on wheels, but also a gathering spot. Manoeuvring around the campsite was a bit of a challenge, but the whole neighbourhood quickly came to the rescue. Once in the gap, background colour, manoeuvring was rewarded with a shared toast and celebration - an experience you can only have on a campsite. Strangers quickly became friends, and the evenings under the clear starry sky, accompanied by the call of an owl, created unforgettable moments.
On a rainy day, we converted the motorhome into a large cuddly meadow where we told stories and Tavi enthusiastically explored her new ‘caves’ in the storage space. She was particularly proud of a new habit: showering, which had never been her favourite until then, suddenly became a favourite activity in the T457. Cooking together was also a pleasure - the fully equipped kitchen enabled us to prepare fresh meals every day. We got fresh milk and eggs from the farm next door, which we turned into wonderfully fragrant fried eggs in the morning. For the evenings, we bought regional specialities from the local butcher, which we also prepared in the motorhome.

What made this holiday special was the combination of freedom and comfort. The motorhome took us to places that many people would only be able to access with a tent - but instead of sacrificing comfort, we had everything with us that is important to us at home. It was a feeling of independence, coupled with the luxury that a family appreciates. When Tavi got tired in the evening, we could simply put her to bed without having to sacrifice adventure or comfort.

Our week in Kramsach was the epitome of a relaxing family holiday. We enjoyed the freedom that the motorhome offered us, the proximity to nature and the special community at the campsite. The Carado T457 became a retreat for us that gave us adventure and security at the same time. The view of the lake and the mountains, the closeness to nature and the shared experiences will stay with us for a long time. Travelling by motorhome not only brought us relaxation as a family, but also brought us closer to the special magic of simplicity and freedom.
Every moment was a little adventure - and that's exactly what makes a holiday on wheels so magical.
