How To Get There

TRAIN:

The nearest train station is Grunow (LOS), which is also sometimes called Grunow (Niederlausitz). There are two options to travel from Berlin by train.

​

1. RB36 from Königs Wusterhausen to Grunow: Take an S-Bahn to Königs Wusterhausen. Then take the RB36 regional train from Königs Wusterhausen (direction Frankfurt Oder) and get off at Grunow.

​

2. RE1 from Hauptbahnhof via Frankfurt Oder to Grunow: Take the RE1 from Hauptbahnhof or Ostkreuz. Travel to Frankfurt Oder. There, take the RB36 back in the direction of Berlin (Königs Wusterhausen), and get off at Grunow. Here you can find the times for both directions of the RB 36.

​

SHUTTLE BUS:

A shuttle bus service will run from Grunow train station to the campsite during the following hours:

Friday - 4pm-8pm
Saturday - 12pm-6pm
Sunday - 12pm-4pm

Please wait at the public bus stop in front of the train station. The bus will run several times each hour. The shuttle is included in your ticket.

​

BICYCLES:

You can also bring a bike and ride from the train station. It’s a beautiful ride! Be aware that the train staff may ask you to wait for the next train (1 hour) if the train is full.  If carrying equipment, you may ask the shuttle bus to transport it from the station.

Food and Drink

Galipan Deli will serve a delicious Venezuelan-inspired menu of meals and snacks, with vegan and meat options.  There will be breakfast, lunch and dinner menus all weekend. Make sure you bring cash, as there are no ATMs and no credit card payments on site.
