The serotonin tanks are bursting at the seams, the cheers are ready: with Mach3, our flying ship is tackling the last nautical miles. Already next week, we’ll finally be able to celebrate life together once again between the pines and the promenade. We pause for a moment, gather ourselves before the anchor drops. Then it’s time to say: Bucht der Träumer* 2025, here we come!
Before we dive headfirst into full festival prep, there’s one topic close to our hearts we want to talk about with you: Before we dive headfirst into full festival prep, there’s one topic close to our hearts we want to talk about with you:
New rules for rave sticks & glow jellyfish! We love your colorful, glowing rave sticks and jellyfish! They make the dancefloor more beautiful and help wandering souls find their crew again. But once they get too big, they can become dangerous. Fire or light installations can be disrupted – or turn into real fire hazards. And if sharp tips are driven into the ground, they can hit electrical lines.

- Max height: 3 meters
- No sharp tips at the bottom
- When illuminated: Easy way to dim or turn them off (when requested)
- On the Waldtraut floor, please place them in the jellyfish cloakroom – the mapping team thanks you from the bottom of their hearts!
If the rules aren’t followed, rave sticks will have to stay at the campsite – or our security crew will shorten them on the spot. Save yourself the hassle at the entrance and stick to the guidelines, so we can all dance together safely and in full color!
Info for Bucht der Träumer* 2025
Arrival
Bassliner
New Bassliner Tickets keep popping up – including for all Sunday guests – so keep checking, it’s worth it!
Train
You can travel easily on the RE1 from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder). From there, the NEB will take you to Lake Helene, and it’s just a 15–20 minute walk to the festival grounds.
Car
Use this address for your GPS:
Am Helenesee 2, 15236 Frankfurt (Oder)
Bike
The most eco-friendly (and beautiful) way to arrive is by bike! For some early festival vibes on the way, Rückenwind e.V. is hosting a group ride on Thursday morning from Berlin via Erkner and Fürstenwalde to the festival grounds. All info can be found on our Website.
Festival Grounds Opening Hours
The gates to our big celebration open on Thursday at 12:00 pm. By Tuesday at 12:00 pm the party ends and the gates close again – until next year!
We’re a Cashless Festival!
Just like in previous years, Bucht is fully cashless – you’ll find all info about the system and refunds herein the program booklet, or at on-site stations. Load your wristband online in advance to skip the queues! Still, bring some cash: you’ll need €10 each for the trash deposit and the Sunday parking ticket - you never know.
Swimming Ban at Helenesee
Swimming in Helenesee is strictly forbidden for safety reasons, and violations may result in removal from the site. But don’t skip your swimwear: you’ll find splashy fun across the grounds, and if you’ve got a bike, you can even reach a small swimming spot east of the lake. Another reason to bring your bike!
Glass Ban
Glass is prohibited all around Helenesee – completely on the infield, and strongly discouraged on the campsite. Less glass means less trash and fewer injuries – thanks for keeping it safe!
Fire Risk & No Grilling
Open fires and grilling are strictly forbidden across the entire site, especially on the campsite. Despite all the rain, the forest fire risk remains. Smokers: please use portable ashtrays to keep the festival clean and safe.
No Pets
No animals – especially dogs – allowed. Festivals just aren’t a place for furry friends.
No photos on the dancefloor!
Please keep phones and cameras in your pockets while dancing – photos and videos are not allowed on the floor. Even near the stages, we ask you to be mindful. Full details in our (no)Photo Policy.
Rent Camping Gear
Travel light and help the environment: rent your camping gear easily online or directly on-site. All details are availablehere or at the infopoint.
Packing List
To avoid realizing at the gate that your toothbrush is still on the kitchen table and your wellies are gathering dust in the basement, here’s our friendly reminder. Save your brain cells for dancing and dreaming:
- Refillable water bottle (no glass!)
- Mosquito spray – or the bugs will join the party
- Rain jacket & rubber boots (just in case)
- Umbrella for any weather
- Sunscreen, sunglasses & hat for your sunny head
- Warm clothes for those chilly nights
- Swimwear for cool-down moments
- Power bank to recharge your gadgets
- Cash for deposit & Sunday parking
- Bike – makes you mobile and happy
