Even though we endeavour to make the site as accessible as possible, we would like to point out that it may be difficult for people with limited mobility to walk or drive around.

To make your journey stress-free, we recommend using public transport. We have great news for all cycling enthusiasts: there is a special bike area to store your bikes.

Waldtraut is the little bee that's been flying around on the official Wäldchestag poster for 23 years.The friendly little animal is the mascot of Wäldchestag and you will find her in many places on Wäldchestag. This year she even has her own liqueur. With woodruff flavour, of course. You can buy the Waldmeisterin Waldtraut liqueur on all the stages at Wäldchestag.

If you look closely, you will also spot another insect at Wäldchestag. The butterfly is called Herr von Smetana and is a close friend of Waldtraut.
