Roadtrip ready – get in the car. Get out into nature.

Windows down, favourite playlist on, and a beautiful spot is waiting somewhere. Whether it’s the Alps, the Adriatic or the Atlantic coast, a great road trip only works with the right equipment. We’ve put it together for you.

GPS packed, roof box locked, boot organised: a good start makes your road trip more relaxed. Here you’ll find everything you need before setting off.

The tent is up, the sleeping bag is rolled out and the folding chairs are outside: that’s what a perfect campsite looks like. After a long drive, there’s one thing you want most: to arrive. This will help.

Coffee from the stove in the morning, grilled meat in the evening, with chilled drinks and fresh filtered water in between: every meal outdoors becomes an experience.

Basecamp is set, adventure is waiting. With the right rucksack, good footwear and suitable clothing, you are ready for day trips, spontaneous hikes or simply exploring the next town.

Some things go in your pack and you do not think about them again, until you really need them. Your head torch more often, the first-aid kit hopefully never. Here you will find everything that prepares you for everyday use and unexpected situations alike.

The obvious essentials, such as your tent and sleeping bag, are easy to remember. But small helpers like insect bite relievers, water filters and travel clotheslines often get missed off the packing list. Here are our curated picks:

With this list, you will remember all the essentials. Planning a road trip perfectly is almost impossible anyway: something always turns out differently, and that is exactly what makes it a real adventure.
