Although the camping site is situated in direct neighbourhood to the river Moselle, the tent is almost dry in the morning. Today I will leave the Benelux countries and continue in Germany. This means that after having passed the Ardennes, I will have to climb some parts of the Hunsrück, a low mountain range in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Although I'm only in the foothills of the Hunsrück there are some inclines that challenge me more than the hills in the Ardennes. Some of them almost make my front wheel slip through. And the most direct road I can find has the picturesque name "Hunsrück Höhenstraße", thus Hunsrück high road. That means cycling up again and again and rushing into the valleys if necessary. Exhausting but it rewards me with nice panoramas. Nevertheless, after about 110 km I'm happy to reach a camping site, the Harfenmühle Camping in Asbacherhütte. It is the most expensive one on my whole journey with the worst ground for tent nails, still extra fees for the showers and no chance of getting cold water from the tap. This is something that I would enjoy when arriving at a camping site in hot weather conditions and after having cycled uphill all the time to get to that place.
The owners of the camping site have an uncomplicated way how to deal with criticism. They just put the 14 Euro onto the table and tell me that I could also go and find another camping site. Very "kind" anyway to take 9(!!!) Euro for a tent place where others put their caravan.
I try to make the best out of it and to make the tent as stable as possible. This will be necessary for the upcoming rain in the night...
All in all especially the camping site destroyed my day and I absolutely cannot recommend it for tent users.
