Our festival is set in the lush forests of Schlaubetal Nature Park, just a couple of hours from Berlin. It’s a peaceful spot near the Polish border, surrounded by nature—and it’s easy to reach by train.

The campsite has a beautiful private lake, plenty of room to pitch your tent, and cozy spaces to hang out, grill, or sit by the fire. Klingemühle 4 15848 Friedland, OT Chossewitz Brandenburg, Germany
