Wonderland

From August 7th to 10th, 2025, the gates to the Wonderland Festival will open once again in a forest clearing at Stemweder Berg and this time, we celebrate under the mysterious glow of the full moon! For the 27th time, we dive together into the rabbit hole. Deep in the forest, surrounded by trees and mushrooms, caterpillars and centipedes, the valley transforms into a vibrant fairytale world where imagination knows no limits. Alongside four lovingly curated floors featuring a wide range of psychedelic and electronic music, you can expect stunning decorations, captivating paintings, imaginative installations, and a creative atmosphere bursting with light, color, and movement. Numerous artists, performers, yogis, and shamans are invited to join you in creating a world of magic. Our wide meadows and fields offer space to dream and camp right at the edge of the forest.

The refund of the remaining credit from the chip on the bracelet is possible here for three weeks after the festival until August 31.

Map

Getting lost is encouraged, but here you can take a look at the Wonderland map. Areas A and B are for tents only. OM and X are for tents and vehicles, for which a car ticket is required. Anyone who wants to park their vehicle and not take it to the camp can do so in the parking lot.

Otherwise, the bass sets the direction and the light is our compass.

Decoration & Visuals

MAIN FLOOR

Cosmo Colors

Since the festival summer of 2014, Cosmo Colors have brought their vision to the floors: What once started as DIY decorations for underground parties has now become a celebrated collective throughout Germany, flooding the senses with every new project. Born from the Rostock scene, made known through “Northern Gateway,” and now an established part of German Psytrance culture, Cosmo Colors stands for artistically arranged dream worlds, psychedelic backdrops, and intricate Lycra installations that transform spaces and open hearts. With roots in graffiti art and an almost meditative devotion to design, they have been bringing their decorations to events all over Europe since 2016. They have also been accompanying the Waldfrieden for several years and have previously decorated the Hill Top Floor multiple times. Come by, check it out. The forest will do the rest.

Dimension Hexa

With clean lines, folded surfaces, and geometric depth, Dimension Hexa creates spaces that appear larger than they are. This year, the Polish artist collective is designing the stage for our main floor for the first time. While Cosmo Colors fills the floor with colors and installations, Dimension Hexa provides the structural core. Not just decoration sprinkled on top, but a stage with character. Welcome to the forest!

HILL TOP

Spacetekk Visuals

Light is not neutral. It can dance, stumble, deceive. Those who understand this know that visuals are more than just moving images in the background. Spacetekk Visuals have been building stage spaces for over ten years where light becomes a language, using projectors, mapping, analog charm, and digital daydreams. Their installations are not just decor, they are part of the structure: they stretch architecture, distort perspectives, and take us on a journey. Whether theater, club, or festival, Spacetekk has been everywhere. For the first time, they will be part of Wonderland in the forest. Come by, let yourself be dazzled. Or better yet: enlightened.

BACKYARD

Dicro.Dosis

Light is not just bright. It can shimmer, float, break, and that’s exactly what Dicro Dosis works with. The Berlin duo creates three-dimensional sculptures that respond to light and play with their surroundings. Between geometry, intuition, and fine technical understanding, they create spaces that move as soon as you do. For the Backyard Floor, Dicro Dosis is bringing their installation dreams to the forest for the first time this year, somewhere between design study, dancefloor, and light experiment. We are looking forward to shapes that shimmer. And colors that refuse to stay still.

LIGHTING

provisuell

No other team is as closely connected to the Waldfrieden as the light artists from Bielefeld. For many years, they have been building, tinkering, and shining with us through the festival madness, from the first cable to the last glowing filament, and have left their mark on countless corners of the forest. In the club, they are responsible for the unique light sculpture that grows from the DJ booth like a gnarled branch full of electricity. This year, they will again bring their light magic with them, wherever darkness calls for enlightenment. With industrial lamps, high-tech objects, and plenty of analog magic. Not flashers, but enlighteners with a toolbox.

SCHWARZER PLATZ

Caos Concept

When images become portals and colors act like frequencies, Caos Concept might have their hands in the mix. Since the early 90s, the Berlin artist has been moving at the intersection of blacklight art, psychedelic vision, and lived DIY spirit. What started as a youthful graffiti passion at the wall was redirected through the encounter with Goa culture and blacklight. Since then, he has tirelessly painted through the inner landscapes of the collective subconscious. His works: hand-painted UV tableaux with 3D depth, one-stroke technique, self-mixed colors, and a compass that always points toward chaos but never aimlessly. In 2025, Caos Concept brings his gallery to Wonderland. No guarantees that you’ll know which way is up or down, but who needs that when the world should be upside down anyway? Glasses on, brain off, heart on. Welcome to chaos.

Healing Area & Workshops

In the Healing Area by the lake, you can take part in spiritual programs. There are also many lectures and workshops on the topic of spirituality.

For a detailed overview check out the programme here.

We look forward to seeing you!

Chill Out

Here you will find a place for retreat where you can recover your energy after dancing. The chill out spreads across several tents with seating, pillows, blankets, hammocks and chai tea. Relaxed musical backgroud will be provided both live and from recordings.

Cashless payment

A contactless payment system is used at Wonderland festival. All visitors will receive a festival wristband with an NFC chip when entering the grounds.

Online Portal
After the start of the event you can log in to the Cashless Dashboard to top up your credit. You can also use this login after the festival to pay out the remaining credit.

WeezPay widget

Payment
To pay at the festival you can use your chip at every bar, food stall and shop. The amount will be debited directly from the chip on your festival wristband. This means you don’t need to carry cash or a wallet around with you and you can relax and party.

Top-up
You can either top up your credit directly online by scanning the QR code on your chip or at the top-up points on site with cash, EC or credit card. The top-up points are located at the gate, at the Bootschaft and at the food stalls in front of the club.

Remaining credit
It will be possible to pay back the remaining credit on the chips from the Tuesday after the festival for three weeks until August 31. To do so, simply enter your account details online and the remaining amount will be transferred to your account after a maximum processing time of one week.

Forest law

Minors
You can only enter the festival if you are over 21 years of age with a valid identity card or passport. Juvenile minors are not allowed on the festival, unless they they are with their parents. Unfortunately we can not provide family camping so we do not recommend you to bring your children!

Awareness
In Waldfrieden there is no place for racism, sexism, homophobia or any discriminatory behaviour and hateful ideology. This of course also means that nazis are not welcome here. Look out for each other. Those who do not respect these rules are kicked out, for example men who harass women.

Photographs
To have enough room for dirty, tired and happy faces on the festival that will not appear on the internet please do not to take pictures of others without permission. There will be professional photographers taking pictures that will be uploaded here. If you appear on a picture against your will let us know and we will remove it.
Apart from the fact that other people may not want to be filmed or photographed by you, you don’t do yourself a favor if you want to capture everything on camera. The festival is a good time to put your smartphone aside and take a vacation from the digital world. Keep the good memories in your heart – not on a chip!

Ecology
It is our desire to limit the damage to nature as much as possible. Therefor all of our electricity is supplied by renewable energy sources and we ask the food shops to sell organic food only.
Please help us to also keep the direct environment of the Waldfrieden clean by using garbage bags and pocket ashtrays. Also please use the toilets instead of going in the forest or elsewhere for that purpose.

Laser pointers, Graffiti & Confetti
Laser pointers must not be taken with you because of the high risk of injury. Graffiti, markers and confetti may not be brought to any of our events! It is simply too much work to get rid of the garbage and paintings. Confetti also causes unnecessary environmental pollution. If you are interested in participating as graffiti artist you are welcome to apply and contact us. However, it is not permitted to bring spray cans and markers with you without permission!
