What this means
Campieren und Caravaning sind ausserhalb der Plätze verboten, die die Gemeindebehörde ausdrücklich dafür bezeichnet hat. Das Reglement fasst den Begriff weit: es erfasst auch, was dem Campieren gleichkommt.
Show machine translation
Camping and caravanning are prohibited outside the places that the municipal authority has expressly designated for this purpose. The regulations define the term broadly: they also cover what is equivalent to camping.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Ein einzelnes Nachtbiwak wird nicht gesondert behandelt — der weite Wortlaut spricht dagegen, dass es ausgenommen ist.
Show machine translation
A single night bivouac is not treated separately — the broad wording speaks against it being exempt.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
On bivouacking — sleeping without a tent, in a sleeping bag — the available source says nothing. This is neither a tacit permission nor a tacit ban: it is unclear, and the municipality's information decides. Which municipalities address bivouacking
