Frequently asked questions about camper van hire in Kehl

Read the answers to frequently asked questions about Kehl

A credit card is required for the deposit in most cases. The deposit amount will be blocked on the credit card on site and unblocked when the campervan is properly returned.

Wild camping is generally prohibited in Kehl. There are a lot of possibilities to park your camper overnight in Kehl - either on a campsite or on a parking lot for campervans.

This is allowed in principle, as long as the instructions for the safe fastening of the child are followed.
In Germany, you are allowed to spend one night in your camper van in places where it is not explicitly forbidden. This “interruption of the journey” officially serves as a means to “restore the ability to drive”. This means if you are too tired to continue driving, you may – at any time – stop in a suitable parking lot and rest until you can continue driving. For this reason, you shouldn’t give the impression that you want to camp there. Taking out chairs, extending the awning, and preparing for a barbecue will give the impression of a long term stay. It’s a good idea to arrive as late as possible and continue early the next day. Overnight parking of maximum 10 hours is tolerated.
Germany has a network of official camper van areas called Stellplatz, and there’s around 3600 of them throughout the country. These areas are usually provided by villages or towns and many also offer water, waste disposal and electricity hook-up. It is also possible, for example, in parking lots on the motorway or at parking bays and rest areas on federal highways where there are no prohibition signs for campers. In such parking lots, overnight stays are usually free of charge, unless you park your motorhome in a paid parking lot.
In Germany, motorhomes weighing up to 3.5 tonnes are allowed to drive fairly fast. The speed limit outside of towns and villages is 100 km/h, while you can go up to 120 km/h on express roads. Most German motorways don’t have a speed limit. However, ADAC, the German automobile association, recommends a speed limit of 130 km/h. Know the speed limits and remember they will be displayed in kilometres per hour: 130kph = 80mph, 110kph = 68mph, 50mph = 31mph. Penalties for speeding offences can be harsher than in the UK.
Germany is a very friendly country to campervan enthousiast, it has beautiful scenery, smooth roads, and numerous campsites. The autobahn also makes travelling easy and quick.

Important information and facts about Kehl

Campervan hire Kehl: Discover Kehl with campstar

The town of Kehl in Baden-Württemberg is a perfect destination for a trip with a campervan due to its beautiful location and numerous sights. It is located directly on the Rhine opposite Strasbourg and Karlsruhe is also not far away.

Freiburg im Breisgau is also just a stone's throw away. Kehl itself is the cultural centre of the Ortenau district and has been a major town since 1971. Due to its location on the French border, the town has unfortunately often been involved in conflicts and has therefore been destroyed several times over the centuries.

The town centre is 3 km from the mouth of the Kinzig river. In former times, Kehl was therefore also an important harbour town. The citizens achieved a certain prosperity through supra-regional trade.

Johann Jakob Friedrich Weinbrenner, a well-known German master builder of the classicist period, played a decisive role in shaping today's townscape. Weinbrenner was born in Karlsruhe in 1766. His buildings were mainly inspired by antique buildings from Italy.

A striking feature of his buildings are the columns in front of the main entrance. Many of his classicist buildings can still be admired, especially in the city centre. The centre also has a lively shopping street with numerous small cafés and restaurants.

Campervan hire in Kehl - the best time to travel

The climate in the region is warm and temperate. The best time for a holiday with a campervan is between June and September. Most campsites open their season in May, when it doesn't get too cold at night.

Holidays in Kehl - Temperatures

The average annual temperature in Kehl is 10 Celsius. The warmest month of the year is June with an average of 20 degrees Celsius. Of course, on some days it is much warmer.

During the winter months, you should not necessarily sleep in a campervan. Between December and February, the values fluctuate between 2 and 5 degrees Celsius. Especially in January, there is a lot of snow in the region.

Holidays in Kehl - Precipitation

Rain falls quite evenly in Kehl throughout the year. Within a year there is 1112 mm of precipitation. The driest month is February with 80 mm. December has the most rain.

Since you should always expect a downpour even in summer, it is worth packing an umbrella or rain jacket. A waterproof awning for the campervan is also a good idea.

Campervan hire in Kehl - the most famous sights

The Bridge of Two Banks, the Silver Fir Tower and the Auen Wilderness Trail are the best-known sights in the town. Strasbourg and Karlsruhe are good destinations for excursions with the campervan.

Holidays in Kehl Destination 1 - Bridge of the Two Banks

The Bridge of Two Banks, also known as the Passerelle des Deux Rives, crosses the Rhine and connects Germany with France. It is for pedestrians and cyclists only and was designed as part of a regional garden show. Marc Micram, an architect from Paris, created this work of art as a symbol of the cross-border friendship between the cities.

On 13 April 2004, the bridge was ceremonially inaugurated and opened to the public. In 2009, NATO heads of government met here to celebrate its 60th anniversary. A walk across the bridge is especially worthwhile shortly before sunset.

Campervan hire Destination 2 - Silver fir tower in Kehl

In 2003, a 44-metre-high observation tower was erected in the garden of the two banks. The tower's scaffolding consists of three enormous silver fir trunks, which come from Nordrach. A steel net stabilises the wooden construction.

A stairway on the outside of the steel net takes visitors to the viewing platforms. The ascent is only recommended for people who are free from giddiness. The effort is rewarded with a great view of Strasbourg and the Rhine.

Campervan hire Destination 3 - Auen Wilderness Trail in Kehl

This 2.5-kilometre trail is fun for adults and children. Countless wooden bridges and footbridges lead across the enchanting floodplain landscape, which is still regularly flooded by the Rhine. Other attractions include a balancing course and a small observation tower.

The hike takes about two hours. Halfway along the route there is a very nice rest area. After a heavy rainfall, it is possible that individual sections may not be passable.

Tip Rent a bike: The paths along the banks of the Rhine are ideal for cycling. You can rent very good bikes at the bicycle rental Velhop Station Automatique in the Walter Benjamin Passage in Strasbourg.
