Nature & climate protection when camping

10 tips for sustainable camping

With a few simple habits you make your stay more environmentally friendly – good for nature and often for your wallet too.

  1. 1

    Enjoy regional and seasonal produce

    These treats not only taste better, they also shorten transport routes and support the local economy. That makes your holiday doubly sustainable!

  2. 2

    Prefer gas for heating and cooking

    Where possible, use gas instead of electricity to reduce your environmental impact. Gas is often the more eco-friendly choice.

  3. 3

    Be mindful of your water use

    Hot water consumes a lot of energy. Use it sparingly and take care to avoid unnecessary consumption.

  4. 4

    Regulate heating and air conditioning

    Switch off the heating and air conditioning when you leave your accommodation, or open the windows for an extended period. That way you save not only energy but also money.

  5. 5

    Separate your waste

    Use the sorting systems provided on site. Your host will thank you and you make a valuable contribution to reducing waste.

  6. 6

    Care for the environment in the camping toilet

    Use no sanitary additives at all, or only treatment-plant-friendly ones carrying the Blue Angel label. That keeps the water clean and protects the environment.

  7. 7

    Empty waste water only at the designated outlets

    Always follow best practice to protect the natural surroundings.

  8. 8

    Explore the area in an eco-conscious way

    Use a bike or public transport to discover the finest excursion spots. That’s easy on your wallet and good for the environment.

  9. 9

    Protect nature through responsible behaviour

    Stick to the rules of conduct in protected areas to preserve the local flora and fauna.

  10. 10

    Offset your CO2 footprint

    Support climate protection projects by offsetting the CO2 generated during your journey to and from the site.
