Accessibility
To be honest: we're still working on it
Our festival grounds are a gravel site by the Isar. It is beautiful, but unfortunately a real challenge for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. We want to improve that and work on it every year.
What is already in place
- Accessible toilets on the festival grounds
- Awareness team on site as a point of contact
- Ramps on the festival grounds
What we're working on
- Better routing across the gravel grounds
- More accessible seating options
