About

PAPUKTECH is a techno rave held once a year in the forest, born from a love of techno music and one man's vision to create a place where nature and music merge into one.

Set on the meadows beneath the slopes of Papuk mountain, in the immediate vicinity of the old town ruins, PAPUKTECH combines powerful sound, open skies, and a unique natural setting into a night filled with dancing, energy, and togetherness.

Behind PAPUKTECH stands a small but dedicated crew of friends and volunteers who believe that the best events aren't created with big budgets, but with passion, togetherness, and a love of music.

There are no VIP lounges or commercial gloss here — just a powerful sound system, carefully selected artists, and a dancefloor in the middle of the forest. Every detail exists with one goal: to create an authentic experience that will be remembered for a long time.

Location

Nestled beneath the slopes of Papuk mountain and the medieval "Stari Grad" ruins, Livade is a hidden meadow surrounded by forest, fresh air, and natural springs.
