  • Awareness

    There will be an awareness team on site who will be available as a contact person for any cases of assault for affected persons. Please look out for each other and get help in case of assaults, violence, sexist, racist or discriminatory situations. Please be aware and reflective of how you treat yourselves, your fellow human beings and nature. Near the Saga you will find contact persons around the clock at the awareness and psy-care tent.

    You can find out more about our awareness structures and processes here.

  • Beware of Ticket Scammers!

    All online tickets are personalized. You will only get admission to the festival if the name on the ticket matches yours! You can assume that the majority of offers via Facebook, Ebay classifieds, Craigslist etc. are of a fraudulent nature.

    Basically: Don't transfer money to people you don't know! Even if you have a harmless profile photo.

  • bungalows

    All bungalows at Lake Helene are currently reserved.

  • camping

    We have limited space for camping with bus/camper. Once this area is full, there is only the possibility to park vehicles in the designated parking areas. Unfortunately, camping with cars is not possible at all on the smaller camping area, because our camping area is located in the middle of the forest. Please leave your camping stoves at home. Due to the danger of forest fires, camping stoves may not be used.

  • Camping and cars

    For buses, campers, motorhomes and cars with mattresses - i.e. everything you sleep in - you need a camper ticket (47€ + 2,75 € Presale fee). This must be purchased online in advance due to limited capacity. Parking tickets for cars (20€) can be purchased on site.

  • Cashless Payment

    The Bucht der Träumer* Festival is 100% cashless. That means you can pay for everything with your chip on the festival wristband and move around the grounds without any cash or valuables.

    Attention, clever foxes: You can also top up your chip card online in advance with some pocket money. This will save you from long queues at the festival.

    Find all the information and answers about our Cashless concept here!

  • celebrate together

    Enjoy the festival, take care of yourselves and your fellow human beings and rather ask once more if you have the feeling that a person is not well.

    Psychological as well as physical violence and wanton damage to property will not be tolerated.

  • charging station

    There will be no extra cell phone charging station at the festival. Our recommendation: Turn on cell phones only in case of emergency and forget times and urgencies.

  • confetti

    Please leave your confetti at home. We want to respect nature and leave everything as we found it.

  • dogs

    Dogs are not allowed. In our opinion, a festival is not a place for animals.

  • drinking water

    There will be several drinking water tapping points.

  • drugs

    The sale of illegal drugs is not tolerated. Dealers fly out immediately!

  • fire and bbq

    Open fires are strictly prohibited! Since our camping area is in the middle of the forest, it is unfortunately not possible to grill there. Please leave your camping stoves at home! With the dry summer, we have to be super careful with the forest fire risk.

  • first aid

    The Red Cross is on site for medical emergencies.

  • food

    There will be several stands. The offer is mainly vegetarian and vegan. There will again be a limited offer of organic and game meat. Please remember to consume meat in moderation, also with a view to climate protection.

    In addition to the ticket price, we charge a garbage deposit of 10 euros. The deposit will be returned to you upon return of a filled garbage bag and garbage deposit tag. Alternatively you can donate your garbage deposit and support the preservation of the festival.

  • glas

    We would like to reduce the amount of glass bottles and other glass containers to a minimum in order to keep the risk of injury and the amount of waste small. Therefore, glass and bottles are prohibited on the entire festival area. Those who would like to dance barefoot should be able to do so without worry. Please fill your drinks into other bottles or cups before entering the area.

  • grafitti & tags

    Please refrain from graffiti and tags. The removal on borrowed things (toilets, technology, etc.) will be very expensive for us and thus endangers the long-term survival of the festival. Whoever is caught anyway, will be kicked out.

  • How to find us

    The site is accessible by car and train, Bassliner and bicycle. The festival site is located here: Google Maps Link

    The Bucht der Träumer* Festival is a festival for adults 21 and older. Possibly we will build up a Kids-Space in the next years. But this year there will be no extra offer for kids.

There is also a small climbing playground at the promenade.

  • Sustainability

    A festival always entails a significant ecological footprint. We make great efforts to address this as best we can, but we also acknowledge that we are not perfect. That's why we have added a Sustainability Officer to our team this year.

    You can also contribute to a sustainable festival with these alternative actions:

    Please don't leave anything behind and take your camping equipment back home. Use the provided garbage bags and take your trash to the return stations before leaving. Utilize the waste bins on the festival grounds. Urinating in nature harms the soil, plants, and animals – please use the fixed and mobile toilets on-site. Conserve water and keep showers short, if possible. Whenever possible, avoid using disposable tableware. Use (pocket) ashtrays and do not toss cigarette butts on the ground. If you have extra space in your car, offer it to others. Make use of our eco-friendly restroom options. (From now on, you can find a detailed explanation of our goals for this year and the years to come on our website.) [https://bucht-der-traeumer.de/nachhaltigkeit]

    Together, we can ensure that we leave smaller footprints behind!

  • swim

    Due to the closure of the shore after the landslide last year, unfortunately swimming is not allowed in the lake. We will set up other splash and spa attractions on the mainland. It may get wet!

  • thunderstorms

    In case of severe thunderstorm (with lightning): Leave dance floor and event area Keep calm Get into the vehicles Offer shelter to other visitors in the vehicle Avoid the forest! Help those in need of help and injured Pay attention to the announcements of the organizers.

  • ticket resale
