Q & A about Wacken Open Air

[Quark]

I thought it was pretty easy to roll one of those pop-up thing up... even with a hangover...

LW had a different experience. She struggled with it.

thanks for the replies, I'll se what can I do. The semi pop-up thing sounds nice, never seen one though. I just think the airline might create some fuss about it, since the tent comes on a very big and cumbersome disk-shaped bag.

If you're talking about my tent, it folds like a normal tent. Not a big round shaped thing.

Which way of going to Wacken and camping is better in your opinion, with or without a car? Last year, when I traveled by train and bus, it was ok. Now I have an opportunity to go by car, but not sure, maybe it would be better to leave the car in Hamburg.

I'd say with your car.

It depends on what you want.

The advantage of place A is that you're close to the bus stop. No cars allowed there.
But... the advantage of a car is that you don't carry anything, you can leave all stuff in the car that you don't need, and it's secured.

The answer is to yourself.

my experience is that with a car it just saves a lot of energy
and you don't have to worry about the catching a train in time and stuff like that.
but then again, when I go by train I go all the way, not just the last part.

Not much, just a safe and relatively calm place to rest For safety obviously a car is the choice, the question is whether the park/camp area is as comfortable, convenient and quiet (relatively again ) as the camp area without vehicles.

And how serious are traffic jams on Wednesday and Sunday?

I think i see what are you saying here and agree with you. Traveling in a train full of metalheads is a nice experience.

Let's put it this way. A camp will be appointed by the stewards, depending on your day of arrival. It is as quiet/noisy as it can get. Nothing can be predicted in that sense. The further you are from the festival area, the more quiet it'll be. But that's the same with camp A. (except there's not many that take sound systems obviously)

I spent the last 3 years in R, and it's reasonably quiet there. Noise however is everywhere. (to give you an idea, the neighbouring campings are like the same)

Traffic jams: Been 4x by car, never had a problem, as long as you leave (relatively) early. After, say, 9am it'll be more problematic, but the same goes for the shuttles to the station.
All times we went to Wacken, we drove at nights, so I cannot tell you about the arrival.

BTW. The last quote (concerning the train) wasn't mine but agresionpower's.
And the train full of metalheads starts mostly just in Hamburg. Germany is a big country. Though you'll see some in the trains to Hamburg.
