Edition 2025 — Karl May Festival
The 2025 season of the Karl May Festival Elspe presented "The Treasure of Silver Lake" on the 100-meter natural stage. With around 60 performers and over 40 horses, the festival played between late June and mid-September. Over 200,000 visitors came to the Sauerland village of Elspe. Organizer: Elspe Festival GmbH.
The 2025 edition continued the tradition of the Karl May Festival in Elspe, laying the groundwork for the 2026 program "Winnetou I". The combination of open-air theater, equestrian action, and natural stage magic remains unmistakable.
Programme
"The Treasure of Silver Lake" featuring the classic Karl May characters Old Shatterhand, Winnetou, Sam Hawkens, and the villains. Multiple performances per week. Identical pricing structure to 2026.
