New Mid Europe members start here

[Robert OB 33/48]

Welcome,
If there is any need for trips and event out of Germany, just let me know. In our "OB Friends" group we do have several couples from the USA.
We do like every month a trip and several meeting/trip events during this year.
Just watch all the Rally Ponts.

Greetings from the Netherland

Guten tag everyone,

We moved to Germany in September and today I met Rick Vouth? On base. He encouraged me to participate in the forums out here and I'm quite surprised to see so many members out here.

I'll be looking forward to meet some of you at upcoming events.

Hi Alex,

Great meeting you today. Look forward to catching you at one of the meets this year. Hope to see you around base. We have a few members in our area so maybe a Saturday Rigs & Coffee meetup one day.

Best regards,
Rick

This would be great! We have mostly been doing spontaneous trips but Europe is much more different than what we are used to so the exploring has been limited to castles and amusement parks. I know Europe has more to offer, right? Lol

Hello all,

My name is Frans, and I live in The Netherlands. 4 years ago I bought a 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7, since then I generally spend my holidays on bumpy tracks, camping in remote areas as much as I can.

My next trip will be to either Slovenia or Sweden - can't seem to make up my mind so far.

Hi Frans,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Look around here and you will find plenty of good information regarding overlanding. Also look at the upcoming meetups under Rally Points and attend if you like. For preperation of your trips you will find plenty of POIs on thw OB map.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Always happy to help.

Bjoern - currently on the road to Wales in the UK

Thanks Bjoern!

I do have questions about Slovenia, but with the current floods this is probably not the right time to go there.

Hope to read about your experiences in Wales on your website. I’d like to go to the UK myself, but judging by what I’ve seen on Youtube, greenlaning in the UK often requires better ground clearance than my vehicle has.

Have a great trip!

@Lupus_ravus is on the road in Austria/ Slovenia currently. I guess Yjan could give you some actual information on the current situation.

In general, Slowenia is a beautiful area to travel. A lot to see.

Hi ..
just stay away from Dravograd and Maribor region… Flods and landslides… just stuck for one day and safe in Radovci ..

Hi Yjan,

Thanks for tuning in. I’d be very interested to hear about your findings on driving on unpaved tracks in Slovenia. Are there many possibilities to legally do so? Is it legal (or tolerated) to camp in the wild?

I haven’t camp in the wild … not taken the risk .. if you ask farmers it can be ok .. and there’s hunting going on and I have a dog ..
