13 Reussstrasse, 6468, Attinghausen
Been here?
Free gravel parking area right on the Reuss river, near a motorway but well screened by noise, water and trees. Level, mostly gravel with a bit of grass, space for roughly 20 vehicles including large motorhomes. No services beyond a small bin; a bakery is a short walk across the river. Popular one-night stopover, generally quiet since the river masks traffic noise, though a highway barrier now blocks direct road access at Reussstrasse.

The colours of the sunset were magnificent, and we slept well to the beautiful sound of the river.Translating
Beautiful free motorhome area. By the water. The motorway is above us, but you can hardly hear it because the sound of the water drowns it out. I uploaded a photo of the motorhome area from Google Maps.Translating
The address leads to a private house, with no pitch visible. Reussstrasse ended at a sign saying: “Through traffic only for passenger cars.” A shame… How do you reach the place with a motorhome?Translating
As shown in the photos, frequented by campers and very beautiful for one night.Translating
Beautiful gravel parking area, fantastic view, directly beside the river. It was relatively quiet, with many walkers and dogs. Four stars only because the place does have one or two potholes.Translating
We had everything: the view and the peace. Flat parking area beside the river. Lunch break and a completely relaxing nap. Really very good. Perfect for the night.Translating
Perfect for one night while passing through. No services, but a level place and a rubbish bin for small amounts of waste. Many walkers in the evening, then you are alone. We had an extremely quiet night despite the motorway. Wonderful view of the village, church and mountains. The bakery in the village on the opposite side of the river opens early in the morning—perfect.Translating
Very suitable for an overnight stay. Surprisingly quiet night despite the motorway directly beside the site. The view of the mountains is fantastic.Translating
Good place to spend one night!Translating
Excellent view and very quiet despite being close to the motorway.Translating
A fine place to spend the night. More motorhomes could fit, but the parking area is also used by local residents. It is mainly gravel, with some grass. There is a motorway behind it. A concrete-panel wall and some trees stand between the site and the motorway. In front of you is a large river and a truly picturesque view of the village. The water almost, but not quite, drowns out the traffic. The road continues a little further.Translating
Impossible to access the road; they installed bollards, so access is only possible on foot :(Translating
Great for an overnight stop! Nice view. Surprisingly quiet despite being close to the motorway! Not a place to linger, just to recover from a long drive. Many walkers with dogs in the morning, but it helps you get back on the road quickly :)Translating
Completely fine for one night. A parking area directly beside the river. Be careful: because the site is right next to the motorway, Google Maps thinks you don’t need to exit. Set a landmark beforehand so you definitely leave the motorway.Translating
Parked up at 10pm, only one car and a caravan here. Big level area, good space for my 7m MH, no services. On the river which is noisy and motorway behind but all seems ok for one night. I would use again if I was passing.
It was relatively quiet at night; towards morning you can hear the motorway, especially the lorries. It wasn’t a problem for us. Beautiful view of the small town.Translating
Highly recommended. You can hear the motorway a little from 6 a.m. onwards.Translating
Good place to spend the night. Quiet. No services. Next to the motorway and river. The sound of the river practically drowns out the traffic noise. I would return without hesitation. Google Maps gives the wrong address. The parking area is beside a bridge connecting the town of Altdorf with the village of Attinghausen.Translating
