Halloween 2026 in Germany: Find your local guide
From scare events and horror mazes to parties and family-friendly spooky fun: our local Halloween guides bring together the highlights for each region.
What do the markers mean?
The four markers show you at a glance what kind of horror or Halloween experience to expect:
A time-limited or seasonal live horror production where scare actors are an essential part of the experience — such as Halloween nights, temporary horror mazes or seasonal scare events.
A Halloween event where partying, music, dancing or costumes are the main experience — such as club nights, costume parties or Halloween balls. Horror decoration or individual scare elements may be part of it, but they are not the main attraction.
A permanent or regularly available staged horror experience that is not limited to the Halloween season. This includes haunted houses, horror mazes and similar attractions with scare actors or permanently staged horror elements.
A place with a horror, creepy or dark-tourism connection where live scare-actor performance is not the main focus — for example lost places, historic spooky locations or unusual sites with a dark history.
Rule of thumb: live horror and scare actors at the center = Halloween Event · partying, music and dancing at the center = Halloween Party · permanent staged horror = Haunted House · the place itself is the experience = Horror Attraction.
Lost Places note: The Nightmare Navigator is not an invitation to enter restricted, private or otherwise inaccessible property.
