Wiesbaden / Mainz (dpa) - More than a thousand campers demonstrated on Saturday for the opening of campsites.

With their vehicles they drove in a convoy over a Rhine bridge and connected the two state capitals Mainz in Rhineland-Palatinate and Wiesbaden in Hesse.

According to the organizer, 1200 vehicles were involved in the approved protest.

The “Camping at a distance” initiative calls for the parking spaces and campsites to be opened immediately.

Camping is "one of the safest forms of travel".

To ban it is "not fair - neither for campers nor for campsite operators".

1200 vehicles also took part in a first camper parade on April 17th in Berlin.

According to the organizer, campers from all over Germany traveled to the new edition in the Rhine-Main area, for example from the island of Rügen.
