Wild camping in Austria

Basically, wild camping is prohibited throughout Austria and can be punished with heavy fines. As each province has its own camping laws, you really have to watch out here, especially in Tyrol, Lower Austria, Vienna, Burgenland and Carinthia.

However, wild camping is permitted throughout Austria - with the exception of Tyrol - if you obtain permission from the landowner.
