However, we would like to point out that the evening programme is not suitable for children under the age of 16. Therefore, children under the age of 16 are not allowed in the monster area.
For younger guests, we recommend the family days on Sundays.
As dusk falls, the horror factor is considerable or even sufficient, even for older children.
The event is not suitable for children who have no experience with monsters and witches and who have not received appropriate explanations from their parents. Please always take your children’s fears seriously and discuss the subject with them.
Rain or snow, whatever the weather our monsters are always ready to scare you! The drinks and snack bars are protected from wind and weather. For safety reasons, the organiser reserves the right to cancel or postpone the festival in the event of severe weather warnings.
In this case of “force majeure”, purchased tickets will not be refunded. However, if a surplus is achieved for this reason, it will be paid out to the card holders on a pro rata basis.
To tackle the 800-year-old cobblestones, rocky moats, marshy swamps and harsh easterly winds, we recommend strong footwear and waterproof and windproof clothing depending on the weather.
No. Dogs and other animals are not allowed into the castle ruins during the festival.
Yes, you can bring a camera. However, we do not accept any liability for dropped cameras or phones.
