I will
Good work gnoff


sooooo how'd you get to wacken from hamburg?

 

Unconscious.

 

Look for a train in direction Stuttgart. And get in.

 

all hail gnoff for this topic
lets try to make this one a sticky because it gets a little boring
sure you can have questions,i had some too when i was going for the first time,and its ok to ask them
but everytime the same goddamned question about how to get to wacken from hamburg gets really annoying...

so good job gnoff
now if we keep this topic clean and on top,we can give the newbies this link in their topic : how to get to wacken from hamburg

 

but how do i get to wacken from hamburg...???

 

In our bus.
And NO! we are not stopping at every gasstation to keep the beerlevel in your body up....

 

wait. when does the campsite open?

 

Right after the night to remember...

 

you pick people up with your bus to bring them to wacken?

 

for the really cheap price of a euro per km

 

so that cost me about €600,-
very cheap indeed

 

Hippy bus?

It wont be beer you're stopping for... "Hahhaaaaaa man... I've got the munchies hahaaaaa... pass the bong"

 

Do you really think everybody in the Netherlands is stoned all the time.
Guess what happens every fucking time we cross the border.
We get pulled over by the Bundespolizei and they want to search the car....
