The gates to Wonderland Festival will open again at a clearing at the Stemwede mountain. Every summer in the middle of the woods in-between trees and mushrooms, caterpillars and centipedes the valley transforms into a fairytale forest where everything is possible. Countless DJs and yogis, artists and shamans will gather to enchant the forest with you. On four dancefloors all genres of psychedelic music are played and our open spaces invite for camping on meadows and fields.

Awareness
In Waldfrieden there is no place for racism, sexism, homophobia or any discriminatory behaviour and hateful ideology. This of course also means that nazis are not welcome here. Look out for each other. Those who do not respect these rules are kicked out, for example men who harass women.
Photographs
To have enough room for dirty, tired and happy faces on the festival that will not appear on the internet please do not to take pictures of others without permission. There will be professional photographers taking pictures that will be uploaded here. If you appear on a picture against your will let us know and we will remove it.
Ecology
It is our desire to limit the damage to nature as much as possible. Therefor all of our electricity is supplied by renewable energy sources and we ask the food shops to sell organic food only.
Please help us to also keep the direct environment of the Waldfrieden clean by using garbage bags and pocket ashtrays. Also please use the toilets instead of going in the forest or elsewhere for that purpose.
Dogs
Dogs are not allowed on the area. Unfortunately we can not allow you to bring your dogs due to spatial conditions of the nature reserve and the animals that live here.
Graffiti & Confetti
Graffiti, markers and confetti may not be brought to any of our events! It is simply too much work to get rid of the garbage and paintings. Confetti also causes unnecessary environmental pollution. If you are interested in participating as graffiti artist you are welcome to apply and contact us. However, it is not permitted to bring spray cans and markers with you without permission!

Location
Waldfrieden
Waldfrieden is located in Stemwede near Osnabrück, Germany. Waldfrieden is german and means forest peace. Goa trance and spiritual events take place here.
The Waldfrieden is mainly known for its annual open air festivals “Wonderland” and “Hai in den Mai”. Wonderland was held for the first time in 1997, as one of the oldest Trance festivals in Europe it has grown and evolved for quite some years. There are also smaller partys and other events all year.
It is our desire to limit the damage to nature as much as possible. Therefor bars and benches are built from the birch trees in the forest and flyers or posters are printed on recycled paper. All of our electricity is supplied by renewable energy sources and we ask the food shops to sell organic food only.
