Everything about your arrival and stay
Arrival
We kindly ask you to avoid traveling by car if possible and to use public transportation instead. Lutherstadt Wittenberg’s main train station is excellently connected to the regional and national rail network and is within walking distance of the festival grounds.
Anyone in possession of a valid “entry ticket” or a 63-euro ticket may use the shuttle service free of charge upon presentation of these tickets.
Otherwise, the standard fare for public transportation in the Wittenberg district applies.
Bus timetable:

Bicycles can be parked outside the festival grounds. Additional bicycle racks will be set up on the green space in front of the zoo and in the park area parallel to Elbstraße. Driving through the festival grounds is not possible during event hours.

Limited parking in the downtown area
Due to the expected high number of visitors and the large size of the festival grounds, many parking spaces in the downtown area will not be available, as they are located within the restricted zones. Parking within the festival grounds is therefore not possible. Please use the signposted detours and parking options. During the festival, Lutherstadt Wittenberg offers two special parking lots with free spaces on Dobschützstraße and near the main train station.

*We reserve the right to make changes to the timetable information for operational reasons
Unfortunately, no special services are possible on the Heide-Bahn Lu.-Wittenberg – Eilenburg line. This is due to infrastructure defects that have not been rectified. In addition to regional services, there will be connections on 13 and 14 June with ICE trains to Berlin and to Leipzig.
Please pay particular attention to timetable changes for services to Bitterfeld, Jüterbog and Berlin due to
construction work.
