Wacken has released the 2023 maps:

Now the time has come and after a few last-minute changes, we finally have the festival maps ready for you!
As always there is an overall map that shows you the big picture, as well as a detailed plan that focuses on the actual event area. 

In addition to many small innovations there are also some larger ones which we would like to list here in detail:
