Travelling to Lignano

Lignano is located in northern Italy and is easily accessible from Germany by motorhome. When travelling via Munich, camping holidaymakers can choose between two routes of equal length.

The first, around 500 kilometres long, leads past Rosenheim to the Austrian border. Salzburg is only a few kilometres away and well worth a detour. The birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart surprises with its narrow streets and the beautiful Hohensalzburg Fortress. The journey continues along the Austrian motorway to Villach. Here, holidaymakers cross the Italian border and drive to Udine until they reach their destination.

The other route follows the road to Rosenheim, continuing into Austria until Innsbruck is reached. The Alpine city tempts you to make a short stop and impresses with its mountain backdrop and the Golden Roof in the centre. After the Italian border, the journey continues to Belluno - from there it is only a few kilometres to Lignano. Guests travelling from Constance can choose between two routes of equal length. One leads through mountainous Switzerland, past Zurich to Milan - where culture lovers can enjoy a break. The route passes Verona, Padua and on to Lignano. The other way to reach your destination is to cycle through Liechtenstein and Switzerland to Milan.

Please note: In Italy, Austria and Switzerland, tolls are charged for using the motorways.
