Greifswald: Fischerfest-Busse now for a fee-the new regulation!

Greifswald-Wieck, Deutschland - The fishing festival in Greifswald is just around the corner and promises to become a colorful spectacle. From July 18 to 2025, the area around Greifswald-Wieck transformed into a lively celebration of the maritime culture. With a varied program that ranges from shipping to fairs to sporting competitions, there is something for everyone. But not only the festival itself ensures conversation, the change in the arrival conditions already ensures some discussions.

Traditionally, the Fischerfest offered free entry with a fixed cultural contribution of five euros per person and included bus trips. However, a new regulation has now been introduced for this year. According to [Ostsee-Zeitung] (https://www.ostsee-zeitung.de/lokales/vorpommern-greifswald/greifswald/von-wegen-busse-zum-greifswalder-fischer-nicht-nicht-- ghq4qu4hkbv5agujpfgay.html) now) Both the entry and the journey by public transportation. This ensures heated minds on social media, where many users criticize that the high costs for bus trips must now be paid in addition to free entry.

arrival and ticket prices

The prices for the bus trips are clearly regulated. A single trip for 2.30 euros and a mobile phone ticket for 1.60 euros are options that enable an easy arrival. For those who plan to go to the festival more often, a daily ticket for adults could expect either 5.50 euros via the app or 6.50 euros on the bus. There are savings compared to the previous cultural contribution, after all, the advantage is 1.80 euros - but only for those who plan at least four trips.

In addition, there are also group tickets that are offered for up to five people for 11 euros, as well as a weekend ticket for 6.50 euros, which applies from Friday evening to Sunday evening. Children up to six years continue to drive free of charge, and children up to twelve years also have free access to the festival site.

a festival full of experiences

The fishing festival not only offers a new ticket structure, but also a rich program. Visitors can expect three stages with varied performances, a children's country, fairs and even sporting competitions. A special highlight of the festival is the World Cup in Ryckhangeln, in which the participants have to cross the Ryck on a plastic rope. The traditional regatta of the ZK10 cutter will not be missing, in which teams from Germany are fighting for victory.

The soon around 40 traditional museum ships and modern yachts will be shown on Saturday through the Wiecker bridge before they are presented by experts. This maritime backdrop, combined with a wide range of rides such as children's carousels and Ferris wheel, makes the fishing festival an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

Another practical detail is that bus lines 2 and 3 drive to the festival area every quarter of an hour, which makes it easier to travel. For those who want it to be even easier, there is the Friedrich shuttle that can be booked conveniently via an app, online or by phone. This shows that the organizers of the festival also have a good hand this year to make it easier to travel and offer visitors a great festival.

It remains to be seen whether the new ticket rules actually dampen the anticipation or maybe only cause more discussions on social media. The fact is, however, that the fishing festival in Greifswald will be very popular despite all the changes.
