Traffic rules and fines for motorhomes in Denmark

An 85-year-old man on the island of Bornholm will face trial after contesting a fine for illegally driving a motorhome in a protected natural area near Hammershus castle. The incident occurred on June 12th when he drove the vehicle in an area where only foot and bicycle traffic is permitted. Police issued a fine of 5000 Danish kroner for violating the nature protection law.

The Danish-German brand Groenberg has introduced the new Weekend rooftop tent. Its key feature is a weight of only 18 kg, making it suitable for many passenger cars with limited roof load capacity. The tent is mounted as a bag on the roof rack and is noted for its easy setup and compact storage.

Denmark is known as an expensive holiday destination. A presenter tested this by taking a five-day trip in an electric campervan, checking campsite costs and the availability of charging infrastructure.
