Visibility is very limited for drivers, which is why push bar barriers are necessary. It's best to approach the road with caution.

The waterfront promenade is beautifully designed. There's a sufficiently wide bike and pedestrian path, as well as information boards about activities in the region. The parking lot on the festival grounds is very large and also offers space for RVs. There's also a waste disposal and supply station in front of the entrance.
