Commute & Arrival
CAR + CAMPER
The festival takes place 140km southwest of Berlin at Ferropolis. No matter which mode of transport you choose, getting there is quite easy, but requires some pre-planning.
We advocate living a spontaneous life but not so much when it comes to booking travel plans for an on-location festival. This ain’t a party in the city where you can call a car home. Let yourself enjoy the fest; being twisted at the end of a fun weekend and needing to figure out last minute travel plans ain’t the look!

FESTIVAL ADDRESS:
Ferropolisstraße 1, 06773 Gräfenhainichen
All guests arriving by car, caravan, bike or on foot need to use the CAR ENTRANCE on Friday. From Saturday, this will shift to the MAIN ENTRANCE.
Vehicles must pre-purchase a parking pass. There are two ticket tiers: 1) Caravan 2) Car If you plan to sleep in your vehicle, you must buy a Caravan Pass.
Enter the property on Ferropolisstraße and then take a left on Bundesstraße to find the check-in. After check in you will be redirected where to park. The car park is in a separate area, which can be accessed during the festival, but you will not be able to sleep there. Caravan camping is located next to the main camping area.

ARRIVAL INFO
Access to the campgrounds will not open until 10:00, Fri, Aug 2. Before this time the site will be considered an active construction site and we are legally NOT allowed to host guests. We are unable to accommodate early arrivals Thursday evening. For the sake of our small production team pulling this off, please do not show up early.
When arriving by taxi or via Bassliner, you will be dropped off at the main entrance, where you will check in.
All guests arriving by car, caravan, bike or on foot need to use the car entrance on Friday. From Saturday, use the main entrance.
Notes on train travel to Gräfenhainichen: There is construction work between Niedergörsdorf and Lutherstadt Wittenberg Hbf with replacement bus service. Because of this bicycle transport is not possible. Please check the connections beforehand and be prepared that the journey will take longer.
Our team is working very hard to create a better, expedited bag check and ticketing process at the main entrance. We have doubled the amount to bag checks from 8 last year to 16 this year. It is important to us that we show you that we listen to your feedback, yet please prepare to wait in the queue at the main entrance. Receiving thousands of people all at once is not something that we can process instantly.
By checking everyone once at the main entrance, we avoid checking you every time you enter the peninsula – so be prepared to queue at the entrance, especially on Friday as the main arrival day. Your patience and good attitude will go a long way.
