Overview

The Drachenstich Festspiele 2025 offered twelve performances of the folk play in the Drachenstich Arena Furth im Wald — featuring Tradinno, the world's largest walking robot, as well as the Historical Procession on the second festival Sunday, the Cave Gladium medieval market, and the folk festival on the fairgrounds.

In 2025, around 350 amateur actors from Furth im Wald performed the Drachenstich in the specially constructed Drachenstich Arena. Tradinno, the 16-meter-long dragon robot, was used as every year. The highlight was the Historical Procession on the second festival Sunday with well over a thousand participants in 15th-century costumes.

In parallel to the folk play, Cave Gladium transformed the old town into a medieval market with encampments, craft demonstrations, minstrels, and sword fighting shows. The traditional Volksfest (folk festival) on the fairgrounds complemented the festival program.
