    The festival's own shuttle buses will take you to the bus stop "An der Scharlake" at the following times, i.e. virtually right up to the festival door (and back again):

    You can buy the tickets on Friday and Saturday at our M'era Luna Embassy at the train station and on Sunday alternatively on the bus. A single ride costs 3 EUR, outward and return journey together, 5 EUR. For the local people among you we have a flatrate for 10 EUR with which you can ride the bus as much as you want.

    By Car

    Address
    Drispenstedt Airport
    31137 Hildesheim

    If you are coming from the north: take the Laatzen exit.

    If you are coming from the south: take the Derneburg/Salzgitter exit.

    Please follow the festival signs as soon as you see them - and not the sat nav!

    Parking and camping are separate. The StVO applies to the entire festival site. Parking spaces are assigned, please follow the instructions of the traffic service at all times. In the interests of all guests, it is important to leave the access roads quickly. Please note that the parking areas are not guarded. All types of trailers that can be attached to the back of a car are not permitted on the campsite and must be parked in the car park.

    Parking is only possible with a parking ticket! Advance tickets cost €10. You can order tickets here. On site, a parking ticket costs €20. Be sure to buy your ticket in advance to save time and money!

    Guests with a motorbike can use the motorhome area free of charge.

    Drop off/Pick up:


    Drop off and pick up take place on the designated strip on the corner of “Am Flugplatz” and “Hottelner Weg”. The area can also be found on the site plan.

  • Camper

    How to get there

    Please stick your sticker in a clearly visible place on your windshield. You can only access the motorhome area with the sticker firmly stuck in place, thus avoiding waiting times when entering.

    Please note the access for motorhomes to the site! If you have a motorhome sticker, you will be directed via the roundabout in Lerchenkamp. This is the quickest way to get to your area and avoid traffic jams. Please also note the signs here and follow them so that you get to the site with as little traffic jams as possible.

    Please follow the motorhome signs on site. Voltergeist owners please follow the signs to the normal motorhome area, where you will be directed accordingly.

    Please note

    At this point, a special warning to guests with so-called "modified vehicles": your modified cars often not only result in a large traffic jam - the changes can also have implications for insurance, driving license, registration or tax law. In concrete terms, this means that your vehicle must be registered for road traffic! If your vehicle is not registered for road traffic, you will not even be allowed onto the site because the police will intercept you and immobilize you. So please make sure that you have all the necessary registrations, then the journey to and from the site will be relaxed.

    Don't arrive too early

    In recent years we have noticed that many of you have decided to arrive earlier (much earlier). This "early arrival" causes streets full of parked cars and traffic disruptions and has triggered a wave of complaints to the city of Hildesheim. This not only causes a lot of trouble, significantly increased work for us and our staff, but also insane additional costs.

    Unfortunately, we are therefore forced to impose hefty fines of 100 EUR for those arriving too early!

    Guests who have registered for the Special Needs area must adhere to the check-in times (see Special Needs area)! We cannot guarantee the infrastructure for special needs guests beforehand!
