The festival is located next to the town of Osterlars on the danish island of Bornholm, south of Denmark and Sweden. Most commonly, your trip to Chipwrecked consists of three legs. Each of them is described in depth below!
This is the most varied one, since everyone lives in different places - so there's no simple guide for this one! The goal is to get from wherever you live to one of the places that has a direct connection to Bornholm - usually a ferry or a bus+ferry combo. Conveniently, some of those places have internatinoal airports. Choices are the following:
Please, plan your trip to one of these destinations on your own. If you're not a seasoned traveller, flying to Copenhagen international airport is recommended.
Once you get to one of the destinations noted above, take the transportation that brings you to Ronne, the biggest city on Bornholm island with a large bay. Chipwrecked is not associated with any of the transportation providers noted below; those are merely provided as known ways to go about your journey.
The website of kombardo.dk sells tickets for busses and ferries. You have two options: bus+ferry (cheaper and a bit faster, but you get to board a bus) or ferry only (slower, but only the rather spacious ferry). Admittedly, their website is not localised even to common english language. To go to bookings, press "book bilet". Select "Retur" (two-way ticket), set "Fra" (from) to Kobenhavn (Copenhagen), "Til" (to) to Ronne and input how many adults (Voksne) and children (børn) are you buying for. Then you will get the date-time options. The ones with the ferry icon are ferry-only. The ones with the bus icon are bus AND ferry; the bus will take you to Ystad (south of Malmo, Sweden) - from there, you board a short ferry to Ronne. That's pretty much it!
Notes for the bus+ferry selection! You will have to show your ticket two times: at the bus *and then* at the ferry terminal. The busses leave from a bus stop near Copenhagen airport; it looks like an ordinary bus stop and has no sign saying 'long distance busses' or whatever. It's located at [55.6293378,12.6506345] (google maps pin), you walk to it like this and it looks like this. Sometimes a bus that arrives on time will be full, and the driver may shout "five minutes ok?!", slam the door and drive away. Don't worry; an additional backup bus is arriving soon.
coming soon!
