How do people plan or find accomodation at the end of the day if you are taking a 'relaxed' attitude to planning? I am thinking of touring along the river routes through Germany and Austria this summer. I am thinking of a mix of stalth and campsite camping. I think route finding should be ok but I am concerned about ending the day somewhere where it isn't suitable to camp and not knowing where the next site or suitable spot is. Main concern here would be ending in a stretch that is in a urban setting and hence kipping in a field or wood isn't an option. Similarly with towns or villages to buy supplies. This is less of a concern as I can always carry some supplies but I wouldn't want to be too weighed down with food or large amounts of water 'just in case'.
thanks
