More than a fair
Anyone who has expanded their vehicle themselves knows it perfectly and can also help themselves in an emergency. You can find out how in our OverlandACADEMY.
You can see what the vehicles can do off-road live on our off-road course. Even with the possibility of a ride.
In addition to the exhibition, the SouthsideCAMP is another highlight. Here you can see vehicles, conversions, expedition vehicles, vans and trailers from many parts of Europe. A great opportunity to exchange experiences or gather inspiration.
Here people meet at the central campfire with live music. Of course there is also catering. So it's worth making the small detour from the exhibition center to the SouthsideCAMP (approx. 5 minutes).
If you are thinking about upgrading yourself, you should take a look at the extension camp. It is located on the open-air site in the immediate vicinity of the off-road course. Private individuals present their vehicles and conversions here. The ideal meeting place to ask questions.
Trade fair
On 30.000 m² you will find the world of overlanding with and without all-wheel drive. Cool expedition vehicles and fantastic campervans. Also trailers, roof tents, accessories and outdoor items.
OverlandACADEMY
Travel lectures, workshops, survival and bushcraft. All the know-how you need for an expedition.
Focus topic self-development
In the DIY CAMP, private builders show their treasures. In the numerous workshops you will receive valuable tips for self-development.
Offroad course
On the outdoor area in the middle of the exhibition halls there are not only numerous exhibitors, but also a cool off-road course with the opportunity to ride along.
SouthsideCAMP
The camping area has been enlarged again and offers space for more than 8 vehicles on 1000 hectares. Enjoy bonfires, catering and live music there.
