On our travels we were advised to vist the Volkswagon Autostadt in Wolfsburg. Volkswagon have built a sort of theme park on cars. Although we were not sure whether we were going to visit the cars or just to stay on their available motorhome camperstop for the night, it turned out to be one of the best visits of the trip.
If anyone is travelling across Germany and is heading for Berlin it is well worth the time to stop off at Wolfsburg. Follow the VW Autostadt signs in the town and once there the Motor home night stop is signposted. It might show on a Sat Nav POI as an amusement park. There is free electric hook ups and water but no elsan disposal on site. The parking only costs the same as their long stay parking which is free from 7pm to 6am and then 3E per day.
We purchased a day pass but others went in after 4pm for a reduced rate and discounts for those over 60years and disabled. The central reception lead off to the education and renewable energy interactive section and lots of shops and restaurants.
There was a section for each make of car, this beautiful designed building housed the Porche models.
This below was a one off prototype Golf which was a mean machine for rallying
As part of the day ticket, we also had a panoramic cruise on the river boat to show the length of the manufacturing plant. Site visits were also available
They even have their own power plant on site!
This customised beetle had gold paint, rhinestones on the bumper and chrome and a pink damask interior. It was definitely pimped!
Even this bike housed a V8 engine!
The view of the storage towers lit up from the camper stop.
One of the highlights is the musical water displays which the 10pm showing includes a laser light show. Many locals head into the autostadt for an evenings entertainment. It was definitely worth the visit.
