Driving and regulations

In Germany, from Bodman-Ludwigshafen, adhere to strict speed limits: 50 km/h in urban areas like around Lake Constance and 100 km/h on rural roads for camper vans under 3.5 tons. Always carry your identification and check the plakette for restricted traffic zones, especially near Bergstraße in Bodman-Ludwigshafen, where the maximum blood alcohol level is 0.5 g/l.

The road network around Bodman-Ludwigshafen is well-maintained, but be cautious of frequent 30 km/h zones along the lake, and equip yourself with a breathalyzer for a safe drive to areas like Kaiserpfalzstraße.

Purchase a 24-hour ticket at the machine for the main area from March 15 to November 1, limited to a maximum of 3 days.

For electricity and waste disposal, choose Stellplatz Kaiserpfalz where water and electricity are additional, or the grassy area behind the gas station at In Neustückern, quiet at night and close to the lake for convenient connections.

Local tips and safety

Around Bodman-Ludwigshafen, park in official wohnmobil-stellplätze like the one at 3 In Neustückern with lake views, avoiding private roads or nature reserves along Lake Constance; drop €11 in tourist tax in the indicated mailbox for a secure night. Prefer cash payments for machines and leave no trace during discreet camping.
