Bullitreffen am Hammerschmiedesee 2026

The 12th Bullitreffen am Hammerschmiedesee is a four-day VW Bus and Bulli camping festival held at the scenic lakeside campsite in Abtsgmünd, Baden-Württemberg, organised by the Bullifreunde Ostalb e.V. club. Set on the shores of the Hammerschmiedesee, the event brings together VW Bus and Transporter enthusiasts from across Germany and neighbouring countries for a relaxed camping weekend in the beautiful Ostalbkreis countryside.

The Thursday-to-Sunday format allows for a full festival experience with show and shine, evening gatherings, campfire nights, and the laid-back camaraderie that defines the German Bulli community. With the lake as a backdrop and the rolling Swabian hills around, it is one of the most scenically located VW Bus events in southern Germany.
