Top tips for your trip to Leipzig
Leipzig is known for its cool, rainy weather, so the summers are mild, but they can be wet, too. The best time to rent a motorhome in Leipzig is in the spring or September because the weather is drier. The city is quite green and looks very pretty in the spring, as there are fewer tourists. Winters are cold, but the Christmas markets in Leipzig are a real attraction.
- Driving in Leipzig
Most historic European cities were not designed for vehicles and certainly not large vehicles like campervans. Leipzig has excellent public transport; there is a choice of trams, buses, and a suburban train called the S-Bahn, which you probably won’t need to use unless you want to visit the Monument to the Battle of the Nations.
- Culture and history
Leipzig is often called the ‘Creative City’ and has been home to many artists over the centuries. There are plenty of galleries and museums, but not many people know that Leipzig is also where the reunification of Germany began. Leipzig also has an industrial past with interesting heritage and architecture around the city.
- Beyond Leipzig
Campervan hire in Leipzig is perfect as it’s located in Saxony, where campervan enthusiasts can access a magical lake district with a vast network of waterways and cycling and biking tracks. Travel further into Saxony, and you can discover beautiful heathland and castles dating back to medieval times.

Best campervan routes in Leipzig
Düben Heath Nature Reserve
Just 51 kilometres north of Leipzig on the B2 is Düben Heath, a beautiful landscape between the Rivers Elbe and Mulde. It is a haven for wildlife, with opportunities to see cranes, osprey, deer, and beavers on the hiking and biking trails. There are also guided tours for visitors who want more information. The reserve has a low-lying area of lakes, forests, and quaint villages, so it is perfect for campervan life, with stunning scenery to accompany your drive. There is also a moated castle and a 15th-century mill at Bad Dueben. Access back to Leipzig is easy, and you are also within reach of the picturesque spa town of Bad Schmiedeberg.
Saale-Unstrut-Triasland Nature Park
One hundred kilometres west of Leipzig, following the A38, is the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland Nature Park, an excellent location for visitors who want to blend landscape, culture, and history while enjoying scenic drives and beautiful camping areas. Naumburg has a magnificent medieval cathedral and plenty of vineyards to explore for wine buffs, with specialities like Pinots and Rieslings.
Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft Nature Park
Rent a campervan in Leipzig and head northeast - a journey of 85 kilometres lies the Niederlausitzer Neidenlandschaft Nature Park on the B87. The nature park is an enchanting area of heathland and moorland with orchards and purple heather, a perfect location to explore and camp with excellent walking and cycling. Midway between Leipzig and Dresden and just two hours from Berlin, this is a fantastic base for exploring these cities with a tranquil and beautiful location to come back to at the end of the day.
Sites of interest and excursions in Leipzig
The Battle of the Nations Monument
Known as Germany’s most important war memorial, the Battle of the Nations monument was completed in 1913 as part of the commemorative celebrations to mark the defeat of Napoleon. Architecturally significant and an example of Wilhelmine architecture, the monument is 91 metres tall and has a viewing platform with magnificent views across the surrounding area.
Freiberg
No, this is not the Freiberg in the Black Forest, but an ancient town 114 kilometres from Leipzig with a rich mining history and a great place to head to picking up your motorhome hire in Leipzig. Visit the Terra Mineralia Science Museum, the City and Mining Museum and the renowned silver mines.
Colditz Castle
Colditz was reserved for allied officers who had repeatedly escaped from other camps and sits on a hill overlooking the River Zwickauer Mulde, a tributary of the River Elbe. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages, and the castle was home to the first wildlife park in Germany in 1523.

There are no tolls on German roads for private vehicles unless you are driving something that weighs more than 7.5 tonnes.
You must carry a reflective vest or jacket for the driver and passengers in your campervan in Leipzig, a warning triangle, and a first aid kit. If you are driving a larger motorhome, i.e., one weighing more than 3.5 tonnes, you must also carry a portable warning puck with a yellow flashing light.
German traffic regulations stipulate that you will need winter tyres from November to April unless you are in regions which avoid winter conditions. There is a fine of €60 if you are found with summer tyres. You can recognise winter tyres by the mountain symbol with a snowflake. These rules apply to all motorists, not just German residents.
