>>2434914You are not. In fact camping in germany is pretty cucked, even as far as EU countries in general go.
However there's a saying: "Wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter" - No case without a plaintiff. As long as you aren't bothering anyone or causing any harm, it's de facto legal. Depending on where in germany you are that means that most people won't give a shit about you camping somewhere. It still sucks to know that all it takes is one stuck up grandma who calls the cops on you and you are fucked over. Not the best basis for feeling free /out/. It's a really annoying part about germany.
The only legal places you can camp are on private land with prior approval (rarely ever happens), on campsites (which is filled with boomers in motorhomes and not at all /out/) and, if you are lucky, trekking campsites. Those are essentially the only official and legal way to camp /out/ - and you have to pay for them and reserve them.
Fuck I hate it.
