Been here?
Free parking at the Santa Maria Magdalena sanctuary, offering magnificent views and spaces for large vehicles with no size limit. The first spaces are level, while others are slightly downhill; free spring water is available but does not fit a threaded hose. There is a very clean toilet, a restaurant nearby and a castle to visit, although opening days vary. Evenings can be noisy with young drivers, but the area usually becomes quiet from 22:30.

We spent a trouble-free night here during the week. Apparently, it is a meeting place for young people arriving by car in the evening. As far as we were concerned, everything became quiet from 10:30 p.m. onward. You can also hear trains passing in the distance throughout the night, but nothing really loud.Translating
Quiet parking area at night where you can sleep well once the car enthusiasts have finally gone to bed. There is an exceptionally clean toilet.Translating
A fairly basic parking area. It was very windy when we visited, so we did not stay overnight. There is also parking below, past the factory, to visit the salt springs.Translating
Spent Saturday night here alone, with no problems. Wonderful view. The first parking spaces are level; the others slope slightly.Translating
Great place to explore the area, but unfortunately not for overnight stays. Perhaps because of the Christmas holidays, or maybe because it was Friday evening, but the place was very noisy in the evening. Boys on motocross bikes racing up and down the hill, and others chatting about their new cars. It did not feel unsafe or threatening. However, the noise was so disruptive that around 12:30 a.m. we moved to a large car park in the village, where the same boys continued racing for another hour.Translating
The place invites you to stay overnight because it is beautiful, but people come all night to socialize with chairs, music, motorcycles, and all kinds of noise until the early hours. I parked on a Monday, not a weekend, and had to move because of the noise. I mentioned it to a group, who confirmed that it was completely normal.Translating
Very good. The toilets are clean and there are several fountains. A little shade with tables, a restaurant, and a beautiful view. It is free, but it is good to donate; there are donation boxes.Translating
An overnight stay on the weekend is strongly discouraged. This is where the local car enthusiasts gather and make noise until the early morning.Translating
Everything was perfect! We were the only van there, and it was very peaceful. It is true that several motorcycles passed around 1 a.m. and caused some disturbance, but otherwise it was quiet. The area is under video surveillance, which makes you feel safe. Very beautiful views.Translating
Very beautiful place with a lovely viewpoint. Very busy on weekends but fairly quiet during the week, apart from the usual noisy car enthusiasts who come and ruin the evening calm, though nothing too serious. Regular police patrols. The castle, church, and restaurant are worth visiting, and there are some nice hiking trails starting here.Translating
More than a good motorhome site: quiet, beautiful views, and spring water. A lovely little church, peaceful overnight stays, neat toilets, bins, and a beautiful walk through the mountains! Highly recommended.Translating
Spacious parking area where we stayed with one other motorhome. The toilet opened in the morning and was very clean. It was quiet from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. There were some ambient noises, such as the train and young people on scooters.Translating
Good parking area; we only stopped to see the sanctuary.Translating
Indeed, a neat parking area with a toilet, open during the sanctuary's opening hours. But do not sleep here! All evening and into the early night, young people come and go in cars and mopeds. They talk loudly, race around, and play their radios loudly. In addition, a high-speed train runs through the valley and makes a lot of noise. Then the garbage truck comes early to empty the container :-(Translating
A spacious, more or less level parking area with large spaces too. Behind you is the mountain; in front are beautiful views of the valley, mountains, and the back of the castle. Probably busy during the day, with quite a few cars still arriving in the evening, but everyone is gone at night. The train from the valley is quite loud here, including its horn, sometimes even at night. There were mopeds once last night. Even if you do not want to sleep here, the castle and church are definitely worth seeing. By early afternoon, the mountain provides shade. There are few facilities, but there are bins, a water tap near the picnic tables, and toilets open during the day.Translating
A nice view and a church with beautiful architecture, but there is traffic and young people gathering to eat and drink with music playing. It is 10 p.m.; we are not staying overnight.Translating
Good spot, with a few level parking spaces. In the morning there are lots of people who come to visit the castle. Some noise at night, but not much.Translating
