We continue our jaunt around Europe, this time, taking in the sights, sounds and sausages at the home of VW - Wolfsburg!
Aleisurely two hour drive lay ahead of us from Hessisch Oldendorf and after saying our goodbyes to the guys who were heading back to the UK, we hit the autobahn towards our home for the next few days, the Campingplatz am Allersee in Wolfsburg (www.campingallersee.de).
If you are ever planning a road trip to Wolfsburg and you are thinking of camping, then this site must be the one to go for. Situated next the Volkswagen Arena home ground of VFL Wolfsburg (who play in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league) and a stones throw away from the Autostadt, VW HQ and the main train station, it literally is slap bang in Volkswagen exploration territory. At a very reasonable €7,50 per night for a camping plot (Camper, caravan, tent, car) and only an additional €3,50 for electric hook up, its cheaper than your average UK site by a good chunk. Unsurprisingly then, when we arrived to check into the campsite, there were loads of other Brits and their VWs who had also travelled to Wolfsburg from Hessisch for a few days before heading over to EBI (European Bug In) in Chimay the following weekend.

T5 Buyers Guide
If you want a large, practical VW you can stamp your mark on and drive daily, perhaps it’s time you look at buying a T5? Here’s what you need to check
Germany Calling
Cycling and sight-seeing whilst taking in plenty of history along the way.
Village Bus
A RHD Barndoor Deluxe Bus is an incredibly rare and very desirable vehicle and Carl Elliott’s superb ’54 is perhaps the best example anywhere in the world!
Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit
As the saying goes, it’s only original once. Fortunately, this retired fruit pickers Bus had been left to ripen in a farmer’s barn
Blast From The Past
This big engined Deluxe was bought for a bargain price in days of old, but it’s comes a long way to end up looking like this.
Earn Your Stripes
Fashion is a funny thing. If you hold onto anything for long enough it will become cool again. Even a brown Late Bay.
Readers' Rides
Your pride and joy is our delight to share, so here they are.
K Is For Karmann
Karmann was the company that made Volkswagens beautiful, along with decapitating and camping them up too. This is the story of how the Osnabrück firm became so associated with VW, before ultimately ending up as part of the family.
Link Pin Beam Conversion Bay
Our Westfalia is starting to take shape, but the most important thing still had to be sorted. We wanted our Bus low and driving nice, so the link pin conversion process began...
California Hotel
There have been hundreds of Camper conversions companies over the years, but only one has consistently produced top quality conversions worthy of being sold directly via VW dealerships. Let’s take a look at one.
