Motto 2026 "Fixed in the saddle"

"Fest in the saddle" - under this motto, the Karl May Festival Radebeul 2026 invites you to a wild ride through the world of the famous storyteller.

Just like Old Shatterhand and Winnetou, only those who are firmly in the saddle can master the challenges of the Wild West with dynamism, strength and unshakeable courage.

Experience thrilling equestrian games, breathtaking shows and the incomparable atmosphere of a festival that brings Karl May's heroes to life. Whether on horseback or as a brave spectator - here you can feel the pulse of the prairie and the spirit of true friendship as immortalised by May in his stories.

Tighten your colt straps, grip the reins tightly and gallop with us through a weekend full of freedom, adventure and unforgettable moments.

"Firmly in the saddle", because only those who keep their composure will ride victoriously into the sunlight! Let yourself be carried away by the flair of past adventures when Radebeul opens its gates and the Wild West comes to life.
