Wohnmobilstellplatz Altenkirchen

03 · The write-up

What it is like to arrive here.

Free to park, and the water is metered. That split is the normal German arrangement: standing costs nothing, the machine charges for what you fill and empty. Carry 1 and 2 euro coins, because plenty of these machines still take nothing else.

This is a Wohnmobilstellplatz, a spot set aside for motorhomes to park, run by Stadt Altenkichen (Westerwald). The record gives 2 spaces, so it is small enough to fill up on a summer weekend.

The posted limit is 3 days. German Gemeinden do enforce these, usually with a Parkscheibe, the blue parking disc you set to your arrival time and leave on the dashboard.

On site: drinking water and a waste drain. Recorded as not here: toilets. Nothing is recorded either way about showers and an electric hook-up, so do not count on them.

Opening hours on the record read 24/7. Winter is the thing to watch in Germany regardless: water points on open-air sites get shut off over the cold months because a full pipe freezes and splits, so from about November assume the tap is dry even when the parking is open.

Stadt Altenkichen (Westerwald) publishes the details for this site, checked 2026-07-22, and that page is linked below. The board at the entrance and the Gemeinde’s current word beat any listing, this one included.
