Unfortunately, the festival area cannot be reached by bus or tram – you will need to allow for a 15-20 minute walk.
By train and bus from the main station
Trains run hourly from Berlin, Dresden, and Frankfurt (Oder) – from Leipzig every two hours.
Flix and other long-distance buses stop at the main station.
From the main station/bus station, turn left onto Vetschauer Straße.
Vetschauer Straße then becomes Stadtring.
Follow Stadtring until just before the Spree.
There you will see the Strombad on the left side of the street.
A bike path leads from the Stadtring down to the Strombad.
If you continue straight ahead, you will come to the campsite behind the “Stadion der Freundschaft,” also on the left side of the street.
By train and bus from the “Cottbus Sandow” stop
If you are coming from Frankfurt (Oder), you can get off at the Sandow stop.
Leave the platform and turn right towards the park railway/Stadion der Freundschaft.
Follow the path to the city ring road, walk straight ahead under a small underpass towards Eliaspark.
At the large intersection, continue straight ahead on the city ring road.
You will then see the campsite on your right.
To get to the festival, walk past the stadium and across the Spree.
You will see the Strombad on your right.
Follow the bike path down from the Stadtring to the entrance.

Use your navigation system ;-)
There are numerous free parking spaces on Parzellenstraße and Stromstraße. The parking spaces at the stadium and the nearby exhibition hall are subject to a fee.

The Strombad is located directly on the Spree cycle path. Maybe some of you would like to give it a try =)
