These 5 natural wonders belong on your bucket list

Glowing plankton in Australia

When: Summer (December to February)

Where: Including Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia

How long: At night

You can experience a magical spectacle at night on various coasts around the world. The sea begins to glow in bright shades of blue. The phenomenon is caused by bioluminescent plankton, which produces light when it moves in the water.

Tip: Jervis Bay is around three hours' drive south of Sydney. There you can watch the natural spectacle during the Australian summer months (December to February).

Polar lights in Scandinavia

When: Spring and fall

How long: Often several hours at night

Where: Mainly near the North Cape

One of Europe's most fascinating natural wonders takes place in the north of the continent. You've probably heard of the Aurora Borealis - better known as the Northern Lights. The chance of seeing the impressive light show is particularly high in spring and fall in Iceland, Sweden and the like. The best place for observations: The Norwegian town of Tromso near the North Cape.

Tip: Winter tires are required by law in many regions and are usually included as a mandatory service on CamperDays.

Glowworm cave in New Zealand

When: All year round

How long: Always

Where: Waitomo Cave, Auckland, New Zealand

In the Waitomo Cave in Auckland , thousands of fireflies hang from the ceiling and light up the darkness with an almost unreal blue glow. A real spectacle. The tiny insects are everywhere on the cave walls, creating a magical atmosphere that attracts visitors from all over the world.

Tip: It is usually cheaper to drive from Christchurch to Auckland by rental camper and not the other way around!

Ice bubbles in Canada

When: Winter months

Where: Abraham Lake between Banff and Jasper, Canada

How long: As long as the lake is frozen

In this nautical miracle, commonly known as "ice bubbles", methane bubbles that look like white dots collect under the ice surface of Canada's Abraham Lake .

These bubbles form when plants at the bottom of the lake decompose and release methane that is trapped in the frozen state. The lake is particularly fascinating when the ice is clear and attracts photographers and nature lovers from all over the world.

Tip: In Canada, the motorhome may not be picked up on the day of arrival. So be sure to book a hotel or hostel for the first night.

Cherry blossoms in Germany and Japan

When: Spring

Where: e.g. Japanese Garden in Leverkusen and Franconian Switzerland

How long: Duration of the flowering period

They don't just exist in Japan, but also in the German spring.
