Your barrier-free visit
One event for all
One event for all! Grüne Woche - is a big fair. It is about:
- Agriculture.
- Horticulture.
- Nutrition.
We want all visitors to be able to visit the fair. We design the fair to be as barrier-free as possible. No matter if you are visually or hearing impaired. Even if you are traveling with a wheelchair, walker or stroller. For your visit to Grüne Woche you will find helpful information here.
Important note: Our exhibition center is not barrier-free. The exhibition halls were built in different eras. The terrain is not the same height everywhere. There are ramps and elevators in many places.
