Accessibility
Arrival
Shuttles
The shuttle buses running from Neustrelitz to the festival grounds are regular city buses, most of which are equipped with ramps. If you need assistance upon arrival, our Fusion volunteers will be happy to help. You can recognize them by their yellow vests. They can find out when the next bus with a ramp will be available and will also help with your luggage if needed. You may have to wait for the next bus with a ramp.
Bassliner
Unfortunately, there are currently very few accessible tour buses. A foldable wheelchair can be transported in the luggage compartment. The Bassliner crew would appreciate it if you could let them know about any special needs or comments in advance via email. All inquiries regarding Bassliner trips can be directed to buero@bassliner.org.
Car
Arriving on Wednesday involves long waiting times in the car queue. If you want to avoid these waiting times, we recommend arriving at a later time. If long waiting times are not an option for you, please feel free to contact us by email at barrierefrei@fusion-festival.de and we will try to find a solution.
Festival Grounds
The festival grounds are located on flat terrain. The main paths are paved and connect most of the stages and junctions. In general, (almost) all paths are on solid ground. In very bad weather, there are a few paths that may become soft or slippery. The grounds are not fully accessible. We are continuously working on improvements regarding accessibility and barrier-free access.
Stages and Bars
There are several old aircraft hangars that have been converted into stages; these are at ground level and have concrete floors. Some have a second level that is not accessible to people with mobility impairments. The ground of some floors consists of sand or wood chips, which means barrier-free access cannot be provided everywhere. Other floors have grass as their surface and are quite accessible. Our largest concert stage (Palapa) has a wheelchair-accessible viewing platform.
In addition, the floors are becoming more and more accessible every year. Which floors are more accessible thanks to platforms or paved paths will be marked on the accessibility map. You can get this map at the info points or at the accessibility camp.
Some bars have lowered counters in certain areas and are accessible via solid ground; these will also be marked on the additional map.
Restrooms and the Euro Key
There will be accessible restrooms and showers at several locations on the grounds.
There will be combined shower and restroom containers equipped with sinks. They will also feature a lifting mechanism in the shower. If you have one, please feel free to bring your own lifting sling.
These locations will be marked on the site map. If you’d like to know in advance where the accessible restrooms are located, you can contact us via email starting in mid-June.
All of these facilities will only be able to be opened and closed with the Euro Key. We have deliberately chosen not to leave them unlocked so that they don’t get dirty too quickly and remain accessible to the people who rely on them. The Euro Key is a standard key used throughout Europe that provides access to accessible restrooms and other sanitary facilities. So feel free to bring your Euro Key if you have one. However, you can also borrow a Euro Key at the accessible camp for the duration of the festival for a deposit of €30. Alternatively, keys are also available at the info points, but you must return them.
Camp
We have an accessible campsite in a central location. This central location means that most of the stages are within easy reach. However, it also means that it isn’t the quietest of places. The campsite is located along a paved path and is paved with floor tiles. It offers refrigeration facilities, electricity, and camp beds for those who cannot sleep in a tent. The camp is managed by a small crew. If you would like to camp in the accessible camp, please register in advance. Due to space limitations, unfortunately only one companion may be brought along. For registration and other inquiries, please contact barrierefrei@fusion-festival.de.
Accompanying person
If you have a “B” on your disability ID card, you can bring a companion to the festival free of charge. Of course, you’ll need a valid festival ticket for this. We’d appreciate it if you could register your companion in advance at barrierefrei@fusion-festival.de. Please send us your name, your ticket order number, and the name and email address of your companion.
We also accept other forms of documentation for people who are not from Germany and do not have a disability ID card with a B mark.
You can register you accompanying person via mail until June 15, 2026.
Low-stimulation areas
Unfortunately, our grounds are full of visual and auditory stimuli, lights, and colorful objects. We are unable to provide any low-stimulation areas within the festival grounds themselves. With over 30 stages, the sound levels are high. At night, there are many light shows and, in some cases, strobe lights. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., there is a party break on the loud stages.
Otherwise, you can relax in peace by the canal on the lake side.
Animals
Please leave your dogs, cats, guinea pigs, goldfish and any other pets at home! Local authorities have ruled that the entire festival area is off-limits for dogs and pets. Dogs and other pets must therefore remain in the camping area. Free-running dogs will be brought to the animal shelter at the owners expenses.
Awareness
Especially when freedom seems almost limitless, collective awareness of what is happening all around is essential. If you notice that others are feeling bad or their boundaries are being disrespected? Don't look away, take action and react!
Stay mindful of your own needs and those of others to protect both physical and emotional health.
Collective awareness emerges only through a shared sense of responsibility.
We want to create a space in which everyone feels accepted and respected. For this reason, we do not tolerate any form of violence, discrimination or harassment. However, we are aware that Fusion is not free of this.
Our awareness structure is there for you if ...
... you find yourself in a situation where you feel uncomfortable and/or need support.
... you have experienced assaultive behaviour, sexualized violence or discrimination.
... you feel triggered by situations or actions.
How to reach the Awareness Crew:
You will find the Help Point on the airstrip between Luftschloss and Palast der Republik. You can get in touch with our Awareness Crew through the people there. You can also contact the Awareness Crew directly by phone. At the bars it is also possible to ask for contact with the Awareness Crew.
If possible, ask a (trusted) person to stay with you. You do not have to tell anyone directly what has happened.
We have “safer spaces” where you can get support and we can discuss everything else with you. You can find more information about our awareness structure and the telephone number in the festival guide.
Bicycles
There will be a bike-pushing zone on the festival site - called FSZ. FSZ means that everyone using a bike should push their bike. (map from Fusion 2025 as pdf)
- The FSZ is the core area of the festival site from the barrier to the Rootsbase.
- It includes all roads that are highly frequented almost around the clock by pedestrians and the traffic of the necessary transport vehicles.
- Wherever the FSZ begins, there will be Bike Park Circles so that everyone can park their bike if they don't want to push it.
- The FSZ also marks the festival zone, which is closed to motorised two-wheelers and fun vehicles of all kinds. There has been an uncool increase in the number of vehicles that will be banned from this zone in future.
- Employees who are authorised by us and whose bikes are marked by us will be exempt. However, they should also be considerate and keep as far away from the main routes as possible.
- Outside the FSZ, some main roads will be widened - so there is more space for everyone, with or without a bike. These paths are also specially marked on the map.
Bike Stall
New this year: our Bike Stall. 🚲 For everyone riding to Fusion by bicycle and travelling almost entirely CO₂-free, we’re offering a secure, supervised parking area for your trusty steed. That way, you can celebrate in peace without worrying about villains making off with your outrageously expensive bikes. Parking is free of charge. Anything with one to three wheels is welcome – electric or not.
You’ll find the Bike Stall next to the Police Station at F1-XL.
For more information about the Bike Corral, get in touch directly here or here.
Black Market
Don't fall for dubious offers - the only way to get a festival wristband is through the advance ticket sales (raffles) or the Ticket:Bourse on our website.
The tickets are non-transferable, the guest's name is on them.
With so much demand and so little supply, it seems inevitable that profiteers, gamblers and other assholes will try to take advantage of the situation and enrich themselves.
This puts us in a good legal and technical position to prevent overpriced resale. In our own Kulturkosmos Ticket:Bourse, sellers and buyers find each other.
If you are angry about the capitalist gamblers, you are welcome to tell them what you think. We count on you to intervene on your own initiative, to speak your mind and simply not play along.
Camping
The camping area will open on the Wednesday at 7am and have to be cleared on Tuesday afternoon after the festival.
There are no electricity points for campers.
Please check the FAQs of our Ticket shop for all topics regarding cars.
Cash machine / ATM
There's a cash machine / ATM at the tower near the main entrance and the central bus station (ZOB) on the air field. There will be transactional fees.
Children and Teenagers
Fusion from 18 means that people under 18 years of age are not allowed to enter the festival area, even if accompanied by their parents. Admission will only be granted to people who are on festival start 18 years or older.
However, there will be no age checks at the entrances and accesses to the camping areas I1 to I4 (known as the "Insel" or formerly "Ruhe & Family Camping"). It would still be possible to bring children and young people here. Nonetheless, these camping areas are known to be fully occupied after only a few hours after the festival gates have opened. If you want to get here by car, you will need an additional ticket.
Anyone arriving with people under 18 after that will have to look for accommodation away from the festival grounds (campsites, holiday flats,...).
At all other festival entrances (vehicle or people), such as the footbridge, age checks will be carried out around the clock and only people over 18 will be allowed through.
Kulturkosmos enabled many parents and their children to experience Fusion together and even organised a supporting programme for the younger generation until 2023, even though it has been pointed out for years that this festival is not a suitable environment for children. A Fusion for all age groups, with the stricter requirements of the Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt), would mean a considerable additional effort at the check-ins, the bars, the ticketing, the securities and for the youth protection responsibles. This effort is sadly out of proportion to the unfortunate and upsetting refusal of those parents who wanted to bring their children.
We hope that all Fusion parents will be able to place their children in trustworthy care at the end of June. For those who cannot or do not wish to do so, we ask for your understanding.
Deposit Raising
The rules of the game are very simple:
All bottles purchased at our bars should either be returned to the bars, or placed in the beverage crates at the designated stations. It would be nice if these bottles are not used as ashtrays and do not lie in the dirt forever, because then they will be sorted out and destroyed by the brewery after the return.
All other bottles that are not from our bars are foreign glass. These must be disposed of at the glass stations in the IBC plastic tanks. Foreign bottles all go into the broken glass i.e. glass recycling, as it is impossible for us to collect all the different bottles (about 150,000 pieces), sort them and return them to the manufacturing companies. If you bring deposit bottles, take them home again - for the sake of the environment.
Garbage must be disposed of in the garbage cans provided for this purpose and not in the broken glass plastic tanks! Otherwise we have to laboriously and manually separate it from the broken glass.
Solicoin
If you want to buy a bottled drink at one of the festival bars, you either have to bring and hand in an empty glass bottle of your choice, or pay a solitaire of €0.50 as a surcharge for your bottled drink. This Solicoin goes into a donation pot and is donated by Kuko after the festival to organizations that support people who are fleeing.
You collect - We donate
All those who bring glass bottles to the festival should feel responsible that they are not left everywhere and have to be picked up and disposed of by others. Only together we can solve the problem with this amount of bottles. We will provide the 100 collection points and you should dispose of your bottles there. To support this process ideally, the Kuko donates 0,10 € for each bottle that ends up in an IBC plastic tank into the donation pot.
Donations
The majority of the donation pot raised through the deposit raising will once again go to the SAFE PASSAGE FUND.
Drones
Drones are officially prohibited over our area. Please just leave them at home.
Entrance
The festival gates open on Wednesday at 7:00 am!
The program starts very slowly on Wednesday evening and the big floors start on Thursday 6 pm.
We therefore urge you in the strongest possible terms not to arrive before Wednesday. If you do, it’ll result in no small amount of annoyance and chaos and will, ultimately, just cause delays for everyone arriving on Wednesday. It will not be possible to enter the festival site or the island camping site on Tuesday and you won’t find any parking or camping facilities outside the festival site then either. The first shuttle buses will leave Neustrelitz at 6:30 am on Wednesday.
If you arrive before Wednesday, you will have to find accommodation elsewhere, for example, on the campsite at the Canoo station in Mirow. The campsite is situated right next to a lake and you can comfortably camp there before, during and after the festival.
Fireworks, sky lanterns etc.
Even though fireworks express joy – and we want nothing more than for you to have fun – fireworks are an absolute no-go during the festival!
The constant use of fireworks in recent years has seriously pissed off a lot of people. Sillyness and incompetence have also led to a number of serious incidents and in a few cases people have been injured – lucky not to be badly but still. That means anyone caught selling bangers or rockets will be immediately thrown out. Anyone we catch using fireworks will get an unpleasant earful and be forced to spend a day cleaning the fire engines! Sky lanterns are also an absolute no-go on the festival: they are like flying matches and can cause serious wild forest fires.
Please do not make campfires. Charcoal barbecues are no problem.
Garbage
Festivals produce garbage – that's why we have the garbage fee. Please leave the camping site like you found it in the beginning. The disposal of your garbage through our helpers after the festival leads to back ache and sometimes just to head-shaking. Please use the pocket ashtrays which you can get at the bars and info points and please use another place to dump your old furniture (old sofas ...). There is no place for confetti in nature and it's really grotty to clean it up. Please take care that you remove all tent pegs and metall you put in the soil.
The camping areas are pasture for feeding animals – forgotten tent pegs only piss off the farmer afterwards.
Graffiti and tag-free zones
Fusion festival is proud to be 100% free of advertising. This also applies to all those who narcissistically want to spray their tag in what is a public space.
Stupidity, ignorance and people obsessed with their image and ego have caused huge damage in recent years and this has cost us an enormous amount of money! Dixies and toilet containers, showers and tents are rented by us. We had to pay dearly afterwards for the cleaning of the tags and graffiti. We and many other Fusionists find this incredibly frustrating and it has made us pretty angry.
Think about it: Fusion festival offers a whole load of spaces for street art in its many creative forms. But other spaces, objects and equipment at the festival are off limits and must remain unchanged!
These graffiti and tag-free zones are marked with a crystal-clear pictogram. If you don't respect this rule, you will have to leave the festival and pay for the damage. In the recent years, this approach has shown that respect can be learned.
Guide
The festival programme is packed with all the information you need during the festival, plus a map and – most important of all – a timetable with all the stages and acts. The festival programme is included in the price of your ticket and you’ll receive it at the gates, along with your wristband and trash bag.
Liability
You enter the festival at your own risk and responsibility. Kulturkosmos e.V. and Fusion Festival can not be held accountable for any material damage that may occur on the festival site, for example in the context of an artist's performance.
Local Tickets
Local tickets are available for residents who would like to discover the festival. Tickets will be available from 4 p.m. on the Saturday of the festival at the embassies in front of the entrances. Tickets will not go on sale any earlier.
All persons over 50 and resident in the municipalities listed below pay €30. All persons over 18 and under 50 and resident in the municipalities listed below pay 60€.
Municipalities: Alt Gaarz – Boeker Mühle – Buchholz – Gaarzer Mühle – Granzow – Ichlim – Kieve – Kotzow – Kuhlmühle – Krümmel – Lärz – Leussow – Melz – Mirow – Neu Gaarz – Peetsch – Priborn – Qualzow – Troja – Schwarz – Seweko – Starsow – Solzow – Rechlin – Retzow – Vietzen – Vipperow – Zempow – Zielow
Medical Services
Fusion thrives thanks to your imagination and creativity, and because of our common responsibility to each other and to nature. Acting responsibly means looking after yourself too. So please remember to bring a decent basic first aid kit (plasters, antiseptic cream, etc.), any medicines you take regularly, and don’t forget suncream and a sunhat!
The festival is in the middle of the countryside. There aren’t exactly a load of medical services on our doorstep and the next hospital is 25 km away. If you notice that you have a health issue before the festival, sort it out at home. Also, please don’t clog up our Medics tent with trifling issues like a lack of plasters or aspirin. Makes sure you bring those kinds of things with you for you and your friends!
Nazis
Nazis, chauvinists and racists of all likes are not welcome and should not gain access to the festival. To guarantee this, we ask you to stay alert. If you see anyone who clearly identifies themselves as having extreme right-wing, nationalist or rascist views, please help us to immediately remove them from the festival. Inform the Fusion security crew immediately if you see any neo-Nazis or racists.
Parking
You can park your vehicle free of charge in car parks P1–P6 as usual, without a car ticket, and then take your camping and festival gear to the camping area. The best part: You can leave whenever you want, because no one’s blocking you.
Camping and setting up tents is not permitted in this area. It is a car park where vehicles are parked closely together. There is no space for your own outdoor area. However, sleeping in your vehicle will be permitted.
Party Break
As usual, there will be a party break on Friday, Saturday and Sunday noon. This gives us a chance to collect the rubbish from the main dance floors, and everyone else the opportunity to chill out for a while. It also means the smaller stages get a bit more attention.
The chill-out breaks will be recognizable in the time table.
Photos
Please respect the wish for a protected free space where we all - guests, artists, crews - can be who we want to be: free, uncontrolled and unphotographed.
We urgently ask you to handle your photos and films responsibly so that the right to one's own image is protected.
Uploading photos and videos with identifiable fusionists who have not given their consent is a definite no-go!
Police controls in Neustrelitz
Expect to be checked by the federal police at the station if you arrive via Neustrelitz station.
In the case of a control:
The Federal Police naturally have various powers in this context, but in short, they always require a factual reason. If you feel that you have been unfairly addressed/treated, ask for the reason for the measure and a file number. No matter what reason the police give for their action, you must and should not say anything that could incriminate yourself.
Program
The music programme will remain largely unannounced as far as well-known DJs and bands are involved and will be published in full in the guide and in the programme app to the festival.
We still want to offer a platform on our website for the theatre and film programme, as well as for unusual but largely unknown acts.
We also see this as an assistance for you, so that you can then locate your individual gems in the festival crowd and not miss them.
From the beginning of June, programme information will therefore be available on the website for all pearl divers and treasure hunters.
Propaganda
...you can find on your way to the Harbour space. There you can get Shirts and Hoodies with Fusion prints while stocks last – so just check out our Propaganda stall or just be creative!
Safe Area
You can store everything that you would rather not leave in your tent in the Safe Area. You can also charge your phone here. This is also Fusion’s lost & found. If you lose anything during the festival, you can contact the crew afterwards at safe@fusion-festival.de.
Shopping
Forgot your suncream or toothbrush? You can buy essential items, along with fresh fruit and bread, at the Konsum supermarket on the festival site. It’s located in the Circus Tent (Zirkuszelt) in camping area B4.
A shuttle bus will take you close to the supermarket.
Fusion ZOB → Mirow an der Jugendherberge → Netto → Bhf Mirow → Edeka und Aldi → Fusion ZOB
Showers
You’ll find cold showers at the Shower Tower and in the Bachstelzen area.
There are warm showers, toilets and cultural entertainment available at the Waschsalon (behind the Luftschloss), at the Oase (in the middle of the camping area) and in front of the Workshop hangar.
Shuttle
Shuttle Neustrelitz There are plenty of shuttle buses between Neustrelitz railway station and Fusion ZOB. You find more information here.
Shuttle Mirow A shuttle bus runs between Mirow and the festival site. The route can be found in the ‘Shopping’ section.
Bassliner Buses run from many cities in Germany and beyond directly to the festival site and back. You can find all information directly at bassliner.org
Stop Thor Steinar
Wearing Thor Steinar and similar brands that represent a nationalistic or German national lifestyle is absolutely undesirable at Fusion!
Sunday Tickets
On Fusion Sunday, you can buy day tickets for €70 from 8am to 4pm at the "Botschaft" (embassy).
As long as the contingent lasts, Sunday tickets can be purchased online via our Ticket Shop for €65. Everything else under Tickets.
Thunderstorm
We booked the best festival weather. However, in case of an approaching thunderstorm we will interrupt the party. If there is no more music on the stages and floors, but you hear announcements, we really mean it! The festival ground is not safe in case of a big thunderstorm. In that case, leave the party ground and go to the camping site, to your tents and cars.
In case of heavy lightning the safest place to be is inside a car. Switch on the warning lights to signal to others that you still have space. Staying up on a hangar is a really bad idea. Do not try to leave the camping site with your car, keep emergency routes free! Whenever the storm is over, we will turn up the music again and the party can go on.
Tickets
Fusion Festival 2025 ist sold out. Day tickets are only available for Sunday. More information under Sunday tickets.
In order not to expose ourselves to the risk that many people cancel their tickets at short notice and we are then left holding the bag, we have activated a Ticket:Bourse where you can offer your festival ticket (as well as an XL camper - or Island vehicle ticket) and also still get hold of tickets.
Toilets
Since 2022, the use of all toilets is free of charge, whether Dixi, compost toilets, rocket toilets or WC Royal.
There are several positions on the camping areas where a larger number of Dixis stand together. They are emptied three times a day.
Our «WC royal», i.e. toilet containers with ceramic bowls and flushing water, are located at five different spots. These toilets are looked after and cleaned on a regular basis.
There are new stations with compost toilets, which we are constantly expanding so that soon no one will need a Dixi any more.
You are still welcome to make a small donation, as the groups in charge all work for projects worthy of support.
Trash Deposit
Each ticket is sold with an additional 10 € trash deposit. When you arrive at the festival, you’ll be given a big plastic trash bag at the gate, along with your wristband and festival programme. If you return this bag full of trash before you leave, you will get the 10 € back. And yo - it’s not cool to steal other people’s trash!
New this year is the digital trash deposit token on the chip on the wristband. The trash deposit is redeemed there when you hand in the filled trash bag on departure.
Water
You can fill your water containers and bottles with drinking water at the shower tower and at various drinking water stations around the festival area. The big dance floors will also have water bars giving out free drinking water.
- Festival start Wednesday – 5 days of party?
Wednesday will be a Fusion day. That doesn't mean that the open-air floors will already be turning up. They will start in the old tradition from 6 pm on Thursday.
On Wednesday, we start at 4 pm on various stages with an exquisite programme of concerts, theatre, circus and club events. Wednesday also offers space for quieter sounds, time for communication, to meet old friends and new ones, to chill out and barbecue and to explore the festival site. With a broad but rather relaxed programme spectrum, you can land comfortably in the Fusion cosmos.
The festival gates will open on Wednesday at 7 am.
We therefore urge you in the strongest possible terms not to arrive before Wednesday. If you do, it’ll result in no small amount of annoyance and chaos and will, ultimately, just cause delays for everyone arriving on Wednesday. It will not be possible to enter the festival site on Tuesday and you won’t find any parking or camping facilities outside the festival site then either.
by Bike
Come ride with us!
We’re offering a guided bike tour from Berlin to Lärz again this year.
We leave at 10:00 AM on Wednesday (June 24) and Thursday (June 25) from S-Bahn Oranienburg near Berlin. The route is about 87 km. Experienced guides will ride with you all the way.
We’ll take care of luggage transport and offer safe bike parking at the destination. You’ll find all details, the GPX track, and a link to a group chat on the BikeX website.
Please check that your bike is in good working condition. We’ll carry basic repair kits just in case.
This is not a race — we ride at the speed of the slowest rider. If you prefer to go faster but don’t want to ride alone, you can connect with others and find a buddy through our channel.
by Bus
Together with the Bassliner project, we will take you directly to the festival from numerous German and international metropolitan regions. Relaxed, safe and at fair prices, you'll travel by bus to Lärz, meet like-minded people on the way and start your festival time in a good mood.
Your destination: directly to the Fusion ZOB, the festival bus station - without the hustle and bustle of crowded trains or the annoying transfer in Neustrelitz.
It's worth booking early! All information and booking at: bassliner.org
Important: The journey with Bassliner is only possible with a valid festival ticket.
by Car
Got space in your car? Find passengers here!
Directions:
- 1. A24 – Take the A24 from Berlin or Hamburg
- 2. A19 towards Rostock – Change to the A19 at the Wittstock/Dosse junction.
- 3. Röbel exit (No. 18) – Take this exit.
- 4. B198 – Follow the B198 towards Neustrelitz.
Be careful: there are two speed cameras on the B198 and one in Mirow!
Please follow the signs around the festival site. If you have a car ticket, there are specific access routes for each area.
by own Bus
Groups with their own bus must register their journey with us. You will then receive a pass for access to the private bus area at the ZOB. You can find the registration form here.
By Shuttle bus
Shuttle buses run between Neustrelitz and Fusion-ZOB. The shuttle buses wait at night for the last trains arriving in Neustrelitz from Berlin and Hamburg. Travelling from Neustrelitz to the Fusion Festival is not possible without a valid festival ticket. The shuttle buses depart from the Rummelplatz in Neustrelitz, which is about 5 minutes' walk from the railway station.
- Wednesday: 6:30 AM - 00:30 AM
- Thursday: 8:00 AM - 00:30 AM
- Friday: 10:00 AM - 09:00 PM
- Saturday: 10:00 AM - 09:00 PM
From Sunday, buses will be driving between Lärz and Neustrelitz.
- Sunday: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM
A one-way ticket costs 6 €.
by Taxi
Taxis run from Neustrelitz station and from Waren station (for those arriving from the Rostock direction) directly to the festival site in Lärz. Prices are regulated by local authorities. You can get an estimate here.
We recommend using official taxis only – this is the only way to make sure you are properly insured. Around Neustrelitz, there are increasingly “private drivers” approaching guests and presenting themselves as something like a “Fusion shuttle.” These are not part of the festival and often charge much higher prices (sometimes €25–50 per person, occasionally extra for luggage).
There are no official taxi or private car shuttle services provided by Fusion Festival for guests.
by Train
The train service from Berlin to Neustrelitz is expected to be very busy every year. We recommend taking the earliest possible trains. The shuttle service between Neustrelitz and Lärz starts on Wednesday at 6.30 am.
On Wednesday, the railway company is running two special trains from Berlin-Gesundbrunnen directly to Neustrelitz:
- Departure of Special Train 1: 10.09 am
- Departure of Special Train 2: 1.09 pm
For the return journey, Deutsche Bahn will operate special trains as needed. The last shuttle service that can still catch the return train is at 9 pm on both Sunday and Monday. We recommend allowing plenty of time, as the shuttles may be overloaded at certain times.
Fare tickets:
From Berlin and Brandenburg, the Brandenburg-Ticket is the best choice. 5 people can travel from 9am on all RE and IR trains and also on underground and suburban trains in Berlin for €33. At weekends it is also valid before 9am. The Brandenburg-Ticket is valid as far as Neustrelitz in Mecklenburg.
If you are travelling from Hamburg, you can use the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or Schleswig-Holstein ticket.
People travelling by train from other parts of Germany may also be interested in the DB's ‘Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket’.
Otherwise there is also the Deutschlandticket.
