an outdoor multi-day festival held at a forested site in stemwede, run by the waldfrieden crew as a traditional season-opener for both the site and the surrounding community. the main floor covers psytrance and progressive, with additional floors spanning a broader range of psy-adjacent styles, alongside workshops and visual production.
this edition marks the first event presented under a joint concept by optic noise and synaptic eclipse, following their merger into a single team. the waldfrieden site also hosts the larger wonderland festival later in the season.
