“We might be staying here for the weekend, but the trees are Bosburcht’s true permanent residents. Join us for a walk around the festival site as we explore the bond between trees and the life they shelter. We'll look at how trees offer a year-round home to the forest community, dive into the world of tree "sex-ed", and decipher how trees talk to each other, and what humans can learn from it."
Expect mini-games, fun tasks, and unexpected encounters that will change how you look at the woods. Can't see the forest for the trees? This is your sign to follow us.
Head over to the Market on Friday & Saturday at 13:00. From there, the Wildwalkers will take you on a unique and fun walking tour to explore the grounds in a whole new way. This excursion will take approximately 1,5 hours.
For the first time ever, the heavy iron gates of De Berckt turn back the clock. Guided only by the flicker of a flame and the echoing footsteps of your guide, you will infiltrate the off-limits sectors of the estate. You will descend into the damp, suffocating silence of the subterranean vaults and walk the creaking floorboards of the forgotten quarters.
This is an intimate, high-tension walkthrough where the atmosphere does everything. Your host for the evening? Not just a guide, but the lord of the estate himself. A man whose family blood is permanently stained into the very mortar of these walls. He doesn't just know the history of this castle, he lived it. And he is about to drag you down into the unknown chapters of the castle.
Only 15 chosen souls will enter the gates, on Sunday at 15:00. Meeting point: market square.
wellness
For a dose of well-deserved rest and relaxation, our wellness area is the place to be, and it’s chiller than ever this year! Book a massage in advance, take a dip in the hot tub, or sweat out that hangover in the sauna.
Grab a cold drink, sink into our steaming, wood-fired hot tubs, and catch up with friends (or make some new ones) while the bass thumps in the distance. It’s the ultimate way to soak away the hangover and get your body ready again.
Hottubs are free of charge and available without reservation all weekend long, from Thursday till Sunday.
Leave the festival chaos at the door and step into an oasis of intense heat, soothing aromatics, and pure relaxation. After a good sweat and a stone-cold refresh, you’ll be fully rebooted and ready for the next round.
Sauna's are free of charge and available all weekend long without reservation, from Thursday till Sunday.
Relax, Recharge & Reconnect
Visit Michalis for a transformative bodywork experience. Nestled in his Vortex Belltent at the Wellness area, He offers a unique blend of Dynamic Thai Yoga Massage, Wuo Tai, and Shiatsu, all fully clothed, no oil, on a mat.
With over a decade of experience serving the festival and party community, Michalis crafts each treatment with care, intuition, and deep presence, tailored to your body, energy, and needs, whether you’re seeking a quick recharge or a deep reset. You can also join one of Michalis’s massage workshops on Friday and Saturday in de Toren.
What if you could access altered states without any substances? Fall into deep relaxation in minutes, feel like you slept for hours, boost your energy before dancing again, or completely reset after an intense festival night, all through immersive light & sound experiences.
SOMA Light Therapy combines flickering light frequencies and spatial sound to guide the brain into different states of consciousness: from deep calm and dreamy visuals to focus, euphoria, emotional release, and expanded awareness.

noodle lounge
The worst-kept secret at Bosburcht is back (of course!). It’s rarely on the official schedule, but our regulars know exactly where to look. After a few years, we can safely say this pop-up living room is one of the most unique additions to our festival. Downtempo tunes and ultimate comfort are to be found in one of the historic rooms inside the castle; always there when you need a moment to dive a bit deeper into the weekend.
