No one would have thought that this was possible, but in 2026 we actually went the extra mile! At least for us and many of the people we spoke with, it felt exactly the same way. The atmosphere, the togetherness, the many special moments – it was simply beautiful!

In this second year, we have discovered even more of what makes our festival so special: sitting together on the meadow, listening to the quiet, inspiring sounds, letting our eyes wander over the trees and the sky – and shortly afterwards, dancing together in a relaxed manner. What a mix! In between, there is always time to get creative and to attend one of the workshops.

With great acts, almost 500 people on the site on Sunday and a festival song that surpassed everything that had gone before: 199 people playing the handpan and a total of over 200 musicians who played together a real composition. A moment that we will probably never forget!

What a year! Thank you to everyone who filled this festival with so much life, music, and warmth ❤️
