The different venues of the festival
Every venue is within walking distance but the Queer Ranch is at least 20-40 minutes (beautiful scenic) walk depending on where you are leaving from.
So if you don’t fancy walking you can take a taxi for 5 euros on the Square of the village (this option will still require a 10 minutes scenic walk as taxis cannot get all the way to the ranch). Please note for those that are walking to the ranch it's important to leave with the guided walks to ensure we respect our farmer neighbors by not crossing their lands and following the correct route.
