Overview
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.
