Special Buses (Direct to the Venue)

Our special buses will take you directly to the main entrance and the VIP check-in without any transfers.

Ellwangen (Recommended): Coordinated with the fast RE1 trains (Karlsruhe–Stuttgart–Aalen–Ellwangen). The RE1 is 25 minutes faster than the regular regional train.
Price: €8 (one-way) / €15 (round-trip).

Ansbach: On the main arrival day (Tuesday), there are three additional departures.
Price: €10 (one-way) / €19 (round-trip).

Fare note: The Deutschlandticket (D-Ticket) and other regional transport association tickets are not valid on the special buses, as these are financed solely by fare revenue. The D-Ticket is valid on regular scheduled buses (e.g., to Dombühl), but no additional buses are provided there (“if full, then full”).

Shuttle & Night Shuttle

Dinkelsbühl Shuttle: Free shuttle buses run between the festival grounds and the town during the day.

Night Shuttle: The Night Shuttle loop service is available for the return trip at night.
Price: €5.80 (cashless payment accepted).
