Here is a little Q&A for you

• How do I get to the Happening site / Carinas farm?
Nearest airport is Hamburg , closest trainstations are Ahrensburg/Luebeck/Bad Oldesloe - this is all still very far away ..
So take a bus to either the stop Sandesneben Schule (3km to walk or hitchhike) or the very closest one is: Schiphorst Eicheder Weg
the best way to find out about the bus schedule is here

warm showers, otherwise ... only cold water

Yes , lots of camping space directly on site.
never forget that the camping ground is a private garden before and after the gathering, so make sure to leave it clean and there should be no plastic flying around at anytime

camping ( bring your tent and sleeping bag ),
at locals (b'n'b around 15€ let us know as soon as you can - it needs quite some time to organise),
