Or you can also rent a car at the airport. We have a special Queer Ranch festival deal starting from 18 euro a day (minimum 5 days) - meaning you can rent a car from 126 euro for the whole week. Get in touch with us for more info.

How to eat?
Many many many restaurants with the best food, and even sandwiches places with the best kebab for 2,50 euros.
The venues and workshops for 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.
Here is the map with all the venues and workshops for the festival. You can open it and save it on your phone.
