Is er in cruise village glijmiddel beschikbaar of moet je dat zelf meenemen?

Hey! This would be my first Whole, coming from Berlin. None of my friends are sure they're going, so I might end up going solo. How is the experience on your own? Do people usually make connections there?

This post is just for fun, don’t take it too serious.

Been growing my bush for a few months and I like it, but was wondering if I want to trim or keep it for Whole, so it made me curious… what does the Whole crowd prefer?

For reference: I’m male, gay, 37, Latino… (and bottom, in case that is relevant to your opinion)

Have I left it too late?

I’m thinking of booking a last-minute ticket via Tixel to come to WHOLE, but I’ve never been before.

I know people are mentioning about booking the bus that takes you there from Berlin, but I’m wondering if this is all too last-minute or if it’s still possible to make arrangements. I don’t really know how to get there from Berlin (I don’t live here so I’d have to fly in)

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks so much 😊

Hi, I'm coming to whole for the first time this year.

I initially got my flight back home on Monday evening from Berlin, but I'm fearing now it might be too early.

I'm wondering at what time does Whole usually end, cause I wanna experience it to the fullest, and I'm pondering if I should reschedule my flight to Tuesday.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

We’re in a bit of a difficult situation and were hoping you might have some advice.

We had already rented a camper van, bought our camper parking pass for WHOLE Festival, and had everything planned. Unfortunately, the owner has just told us that, because we're going to WHOLE Festival, they no longer want to rent the camper to us.

We're honestly a bit desperate now.

Do you have any advice on what we should do in this situation? Is there any other good way to find camper vans around Berlin? Or maybe any other rental platforms that still allow festival trips?

If getting a camper isn't possible anymore, are there really no tents left anywhere? Do you happen to know anyone in Berlin who rents camping equipment or tents privately?

Any help or suggestions would mean a lot. Thank you so much!

What is the best route to get there from Berlin on Sunday morning/noon? aiming to arrive just early afternoon. How easy is it to get taxi on the last stretch? Thanks!

UPDATE: will get ICE (18eur) from Berlin HBF to Lutherstadt Wittenberg, taking Sbahn (free bcs of Deutschlandriclet) from there to Gräfenhainichen, then take Bassliner (5eur) to WHOLE - hope this helps anyone else!

Dear Wholes!

My partner and I are first time visitors. We’ll be going with some friends and are sharing a 4pax tent. We want to arrive early, but can’t really find any info around what time everything will open on Friday.

We’re also looking for a map of the terrain and would like to find a good spot. Do you have suggestions on where to put our tent? Other friends are joining later in the day and we’d love if they could be near us, is it frowned upon to reserve a spot next to us if they arrive a few hours later?

Thanks for your help! We look forward to dancing with you all!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m making a very last-minute decision to come to Whole and am trying to figure out my lodging options.

I’m a 28-year-old guy from NYC traveling solo and would love to make the trip happen. If anyone has room in their camp or is looking for one more person to split accommodations with, I’d definitely be interested. Obvi happy to contribute to costs, bring supplies, and generally be a chill, respectful campmate.

Even if that’s not an option, I’d really appreciate any advice on the best last-minute lodging or camping options.

Thanks so much, and hopefully see you all!

Hello,
Maybe a silly question, but where are the locker located and what is the type of charger in there? USB A, C or mains?
Thanks :)

Will there (or is there in case I missed it) be an app for Android with the timetables? Or anywhere practical where we can have that info organized?

I (33M ) am going to the Whole festival for the first time this year. I will be traveling solo from the Netherlands and happy to meet other folks at the festival to share the experience with .

Is there any pre-existing group for solo travelers on WhatsApp or other channels to socialize? If not, would people be interested in creating one together?

If you have any questions for or about me, feel free to DM.

Hello,

Does anyone know where specifically Bassliner picks up TO the festival at the airport?

My friend and I are both FLINTA and probably closer to the demi/ace side of the spectrum. We're interested in the music, community, and atmosphere, but we're a bit unsure whether Whole would be a good fit for us.

How did you experience it? Is it enjoyable for people who are more into connection, dancing, and community than cruising or hookups?

Thanks!

It’s my first whole, and I’m going with a group of gorgeous but very much cis gays. That means I’ll be on a solo journey to hopefully experience some FLINTA connection. With that in mind (and due to the lack of much info online), any tips for a first time FLINTA going to whole? What do I need to know? ✨

Hi everyone, I’m looking for 3 return bus tickets. Ideally we’d like an early departure to the festival and an early return as well (both before 12 if possible).

I heard that last year there was a workshop on — basically — circle jerking.

Is this true? Will there be any again this year? Cause judging by the workshops descriptions I am not sure I can find it.

Fellow queer campers - I need advice on keeping my tent from overheating this year!

Last year I saw people putting tarps or reflective foil over their tents, seemingly to stop direct sunlight from heating things up.

For anyone who's tried it: does it actually work? What's the German name for that stuff? And if it's worth it, where's the best place to buy it in Berlin?
