Visitor dogs are very welcome to come along. They will need a valid rabies vaccination (vaccination card will be checked at the entrance) and a ticket. Other health certificates are NOT required. Dog tickets are available exclusively through our online store. Please note that there will be no box office.

Admission only with valid anti-rabies vaccination
Dogs brought to this event must be vaccinated against rabies at least three weeks before the event (bring your vaccination card/EU pet passport). The rabies vaccination is valid for 12 months from the day of vaccination. If a longer validity is to be claimed, this must be proven by entering the validity in the vaccination certificate or in the EU pet passport in the field "Valid until". If a dog vaccinated against rabies is revaccinated against rabies before the end of the validity of the existing vaccination, the so-called 3-week period does not apply. In the case of a first vaccination, the dog must have been at least 3 months old at the time of the vaccination and the vaccination must have taken place at least 21 days ago at the time of the event. Young dogs born and raised in Germany (age less than 15 weeks) that have no or not yet effective vaccination protection against rabies may only be admitted if the owner presents a veterinary certificate stating that the dog has been examined and found to be free of clinical signs of rabies. This certificate must not be older than 10 days. Young dogs or cats from abroad (age under 15 weeks) are not admitted.

Dog tickets are available exclusively through our online store. Please note that there will be no box office. Dogs are only admitted with a valid rabies vaccination.
