The Glemseck 101 is a motorcycle festival. We welcome every visitor who arrives by motorcycle! We recommend motorcyclists who do not come from the Leonberg and Stuttgart area to use the approach from the direction of Leonberg, from the highway A 8/81.
Glemseck 101 is located on the edge of the Stuttgart diesel driving ban zone.. The event site itself as well as the parking facilities and main access routes are outside this zone. Therefore, no restrictions due to diesel driving bans are to be expected on the event site.
Access from Stuttgart via the L1887 Krummbachtal / Mahdental is NOT possible over the entire Glemseck 101 weekend. This “access road” is completely closed! Also for motorcyclists! Access only via Leonberg (L1887) and Frauenkreuz (L1888). .
Note for visitors to Krummbachtal and Kriesten Garten- und Landschaftsbau GmbH: The closure with barrier and security post takes place after(!) the turn-off to Krummbachtal. There are no restrictions on entering and exiting Krummbachtal or entering and exiting Kriesten Garten- und Landschaftsbau GmbH or the residential areas behind it from Stuttgart.
Free entry
The economic challenges of recent years have not left us unaffected. Inflation, wage increases and staff shortages on the one hand – increased safety requirements on the other.
Even in 2025, we continue to firmly uphold the principle of »free entry«. Throughout the entire weekend, access – including the vendor area, stage program, and 1/8-mile grandstand – will remain free of charge. Nevertheless, we are forced to respond to rising costs. We cannot pass all expenses on to our sponsors and exhibitors, who are also facing current economic challenges. For this reason, we have, among other things, adjusted the prices for parking fees and camping.
Parking
Motorcycles generally have access to the area, provided that these motorcycles are road-legal and registered. Motorcycles can be parked on the event site. In the past, we have had to close the event site to motorcycles from 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday because the crowds were too big. We reserve the right to take these measures again this year. It will not be possible to leave the site during the closure. In this case, we ask you to follow the instructions of our security staff and to park your motorcycles in front of the respective entrances.
Note: Motorcyclists will find significantly more parking options and a more convenient footpath (flat route) at the Leonberg entrance, coming from the A 8/81 highway, exit “Leonberg-Ost”
Please note: Not all areas within Glemseck 101 are approved for motorcycle parking. In addition, we urgently ask you to ensure that you keep the rescue lane clear (3.5 meters) when parking your bike Our security staff has clear instructions to address you if it becomes too “tight” and will clearly ask you to either move your motorcycle appropriately or park elsewhere.
Sufficient parking spaces are available for cars The main parking lot is located on the Rappenberg. It is located in front of the western entrance to the event site. Access via the Leonberg-Ost highway exit, then in the direction of Glemseck. Stewards and signs will show you the way.
For visitors arriving by car from Stuttgart, parking is also available on the closed L 1188, between the junction to Warmbronn (Frauenkreuz) and the Hedersbach bend, on the side of the road. Please note: This section of the L 1188 has a steep gradient.
During the entire Glemseck 101 event, the L1187 (Mahdental) coming from Leonberg and Stuttgart from the Krummbachtal junction and the L1188 from the Frauenkreuz junction will be completely closed for public traffic
There are parking spaces for motorhomes which can only be reached via the western entrance (Leonberg-Ost highway exit, then towards Glemseck). The pitches are located on the meadow at the base of the Rappenberg. Stewards and signs show the way.

Fans with disabilities
Please arrive from the Leonberg exit of the A8/81 freeway - and show your “ID” to our stewards at the 101 checkpoint. You will then be directed to the entrance, where we have reserved a number of parking spaces for people with reduced mobility and their cars. Please note: These are the only reserved parking spaces at 101 - but these parking spaces are also subject to a charge.
We will be happy to arrange for an accompanying person to drive visitors with limited mobility towards the entrance and drop them off near the entrance. Ask our stewarding service about this. However, the accompanying person must then drive the car back again to park it in one of the 101 visitor parking spaces.
Toilet facilities (Dixies) can be found all over the Glemseck 101 area. You will find most of them behind the 101 stage and near the sprint track. There is also a toilet with wheelchair access behind the 101 stage.
Helmet lockers
The non-profit organization Streetbunnycrew offers a place to store your helmet. Visitors can leave and store helmets and jackets there for a donation. Please note: Capacity is limited! The helmet checkroom is located on the merchant mile, coming from the western entrance in the middle between the entrance to the event site and the event center. You will recognize the “bunnies” from far by their pink plush costumes.
The donations go to charitable projects. Since the Streetbunnycrew e. V. was founded in 2013, more than 300,000 euros in donations have been collected and handed over to selected projects. Over 70 campaigns have supported children's homes and clinics, institutions for the disabled and support centers, among others. The “SBC” is now represented throughout Germany and can therefore make a targeted commitment to regional institutions that are often no in focus of the public. So stroll around our Glemseck 101 in comfort and without luggage - and do something good at the same time!
Staying over night and camping
Numerous hotels and guesthouses in the Leonberg region and in the vicinity of Glemseck 101 offer special 101 rates. Ask when making your reservation. You can find our hotel recommendations here.
Traditionally at Glemseck 101 camping takes place. There are plenty of meadows available for this. Access is via the Leonberg-Ost highway exit, then in the direction of Glemseck. After approx. 200 meters at the first intersection, stewards will show you the way to the campsite. This leads along a dirt road along the southern edge of the forest to the entrance, which is located behind the Hotel Glemseck building.
The camping areas are only available for tents. There are pitches for mobile homes outside the event site!
We charge the following fees for camping:
- 25 Euro overnight flat rate per tent (max. 2-man tent)
Price is independent of length of stay - You will receive wood for motorcycle stands free of charge
- Garbage bag for the disposal of waste is free of charge
- Washing container use free of charge
Only cash payment is possible! Cash is collected directly at the entrance by the stewards at the campsite.
It is not possible to reserve a tent pitch in advance.
Tents for a maximum of 4 people* are permitted.
*Tents larger than 2-person tents will be charged at double the price.
The campsite opens on the Thursday morning before the event weekend.
If you use a 4-wheel escort vehicle to transport your equipment and food, we will it is possible to have it driven to the campsite for setting up and dismantling. A time slot of 1.5 hours (90 minutes) is available for this and a deposit of 50.00 euros must be paid. Afterwards, these vehicles must be removed and parked in our official visitor parking area.
For the deposit, our staff at the barrier will issue you with a “101 Camping Deposit Card”, on which the license plate number and the entry time are noted. With this deposit we ensure that the escort vehicles are removed. From the campsite and from the dirt road, which also serves as an emergency access road!
If you leave the site again with your escort vehicle after 1.5 hours at the latest, the 50.00 euro deposit will be refunded if you hand in your 101 camping deposit card. Vehicles that are not removed from the campsite will be called out. The 50.00 Euro deposit will be retained. If the vehicle is not removed upon request, the organizer reserves the right to tow the vehicle away. The costs will be charged to the owner or driver of the vehicle.
We are in in a special region called „Schwaben“ and we understand something about “kept clean” - on Saturday and Sunday morning. Every motorcyclist who stays overnight at our campsite will also receive a garbage bag with the camping receipt. Simply leave this well closed when you leave. This has worked really well in recent years - so thanks in advance to all campers.
Overnight pitches for motorhomes and large campers are only available in very limited numbers and cannot be reserved in advance. We are also unable to answer inquiries on the day of arrival as to whether pitches are still available.
The pitches there do not have electricity. The pitches are divided into plots. The plots are allocated by the stewards. Toilets are available and you will find washing facilities with hot water on the campsite. Waste garbage cans are available for disposal.
