Park Overnight

What is that?

Park Overnight (PON) offers simple, legal overnight spots in parking areas—ideal for spontaneous and safe travel. The spots are meant for one or more nights and are perfect when you need a quiet, official place to park, sleep and continue your journey.

Due to a weak internet connection at the parking area, we kindly ask guests to complete their bookings before arrival. This ensures a smooth check-in so you can start relaxing immediately without any technical hiccups. Tourist Tax: Children and teenagers up to the age of 15 are exempt from the tourist tax. A restaurant is within walking distance (please check opening hours!). No drinking water. No electricity. PLEASE NOTE: Due to current dry conditions, local authorities have strictly prohibited campfires! (May/June 2026) Quiet hours at the site: 10:30 PM – 6:30 AM!

The site is situated in a beautiful, peaceful location on the edge of the forest by the Erlauf River. The camping pitches are located on a meadow bordering the woods. By the river, you'll find a gravel bank that is perfect for relaxing. The hiking trail through the stunning Ötschergräben gorges also begins right at the site. A local inn (Gasthof Digruber) is within walking distance—please check their opening hours! Please note: there is no potable tap water and mobile reception is poor.

Very quiet spot by the Erlauf. Nature experience, hydropower, and the Mariazellerbahn—there is plenty to discover. Hospitality at Digruber is also great. (Inquire the day before for a small breakfast) A real highlight is the hot shower after a day of hiking. I hope this place stays around for a long time to come!

Totally overcrowded pitch, no control, the entire parking lot was full of campers who used the sanitary facilities for free and caused the system to collapse. Toilets and showers did not work.

On the one hand, it is the peace and quiet, and on the other, the rushing sound of the Erlauf river that awaits you here. As for the sanitary facilities, everything is provided, even for the most demanding. There is no drinking water in the pipes, but in my opinion, it flows right next to it in the stream bed. One star deducted: if the description states 4–5 camping pitches, then 6 or more campers is too many.
