Tromsø and the capital of the Northern Lights – Northern Lights & sleigh tour

Tromsø is the largest city in northern Norway and is considered the capital of the Northern Lights.
Situated between mountain peaks, islands and fjords, the city is the ideal starting point for Arctic adventures.
Due to its location in the heart of the Northern Lights oval, the likelihood of spotting the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) here is particularly high.
In addition to Northern Lights tours, dog sled tours, snowshoe hikes, snowmobile tours and whale safaris are also offered here – pure Norwegian wildlife!
Steep mountains and picturesque fjords in the surrounding area make Tromsø a worthwhile destination at any time of day or year.

Oslo and the surrounding area: a metropolis with Scandinavian charm

Oslo is both the capital and largest city in Norway.
With its airport and shipping port, Oslo is also an ideal starting point for round trips.
The cosmopolitan city offers a wealth of restaurants and shopping opportunities as well as beautiful architecture and a variety of museums.
The fashion and art scene in Oslo is also distinctive and diverse.
The city is nestled between wooded hills and the Oslo Fjord, making it ideal for day trips into the surrounding countryside.
Culture lovers also get their money’s worth here with opera, ballet and theater performances, art exhibitions and much more.
Oslo promises a charming big city feeling in Scandinavian style and is therefore always worth a visit.

Bergen and the fjords in the west: road trip, hiking, Geirangerfjord & city experience

Western Norway is home to many of the legendary Norwegian fjords, including the World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord and the 205 km long Sognefjord.
The fjords are particularly easy to explore on round trips by boat or private canoe tours.
Our tip: Travel in spring when the orchards on the mountain slopes are in bloom and provide an impressive backdrop to the landscape!
And in winter, the slopes can also be used as ski slopes.
On the south-west coast of Norway lies the city of Bergen, which is typically surrounded by mountains and fjords.
Colorful wooden houses with typical Scandinavian charm spread a “postcard feeling”, especially in the Bryggen district.
A funicular railroad takes you up to the Fløyen mountain plateau, which offers panoramic views and hiking trails.
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Oslo and still get to know city life in Norway, Bergen is the place for you!
In the northwest of Norway lies the Atlantic Road, which offers incredibly beautiful views and unique panoramas.
If you’re looking for the perfect road trip, the Atlantic Road is a must – it has already been named the “world’s best road trip” by the Guardian!

Lofoten and Nordland: islands and beaches in the idyllic north

Lofoten is a region in the Norwegian province of Nordland and is part of an archipelago consisting of around 80 islands.
The Lofoten archipelago lies off the coast of Norway in northern Norway and lives primarily from fishing and tourism.
Here you can enjoy the picturesque landscape and the quiet life of the Scandinavians.
Many vacationers are drawn to the Lofoten Islands to spend days on the beach with their families or to explore the surrounding islands and their (small) towns.

Hiking on the Lysefjord: routes, hiking trails & mountain panorama

If you want to hike mountains and fjords in Norway, you shouldn’t miss out on the Lysefjord and the nearby city of Stavanger.
The fjord in Ryfylke, east of Stavanger in the province of Rogaland in southern Norway, attracts thousands of hiking fans every year.
The world’s longest wooden staircase with 4444 steps takes you 740m above sea level and offers breathtaking views.
Numerous hiking routes can be found here, and once a year there is even a hiking festival on the Lysefjord (September).
The Preikestolen, for example.
(rock pulpit) is one of the most famous viewpoints in the world and offers a picturesque panorama.
The Lysefjord region attaches great importance to sustainable tourism with all its highlights and has been awarded the “Sustainable Destination” seal of approval since 2018.
So there are plenty of reasons to pay a visit to the Lysefjord!

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
