Review: Adventure Northside 2023 / 2024
Over 120 exhibitors from home and abroad, around 10.000 visitors, well-attended lectures and workshops and plenty of action for all ages. A fantastic atmosphere in the camp area with wonderful late summer weather and great music around the campfire and at the alpine hut in the evening. Time for intensive discussions, new contacts and inspiration for the next tour. A festival-feeling weekend for the whole family.

Friday, September 12th to Sunday, September 13th, 2025
On Friday and Saturday evenings we have an evening program for visitors, campers and exhibitors with live music and delicious catering. Admission is free for trade fair visitors.
On these days you are welcome to stay until late at night. The times for visitors on the left are the opening times of the exhibition.
More than a fair
Anyone who has expanded their vehicle themselves knows it perfectly and can also help themselves in an emergency. You can find out how in our OverlandACADEMY.
The Northside CAMP is another highlight in addition to the exhibition. Here you can see vehicles, conversions, expedition vehicles, vans and trailers from many parts of Europe. A great opportunity to exchange experiences or gather inspiration.
Here you can meet around the central campfire with live music. Of course there is also catering. So it's worth the short detour from the exhibition center to Northside CAMP to do (approx. 5 minutes).
If you're thinking about building your own, you should take a look at this FinisherCAMP throw. Here private individuals present their vehicles and extensions. The ideal meeting point to ask questions.
