Nordic water fun in southern Germany

Take a break from everyday life in Rulantica

Discover the mysticism and beauty of Scandinavia while relaxing in the south Baden sun. Rulantica offers one of the most beautiful swimming and bathing experiences in Europe, both indoors and outdoors, all year round. Once more this season, visitors can experience action and relaxation while surrounded by a Nordic theme. From May, the children are in for a few special surprises: They can run wild with new slides and an interactive play corner. As of this season, there is even more space in the outdoor area for parents to unwind and simply enjoy the south Baden sun. Exciting adventures for all ages continue at the Outdoor World of Slide ‘Svalgurok’, which opened last summer and has ten slides and over 100 opportunities to play on offer.

Cool down on hot summer days

The Rulantica water world rises up high, luring in visitors from afar. Adventurers of all ages can discover a total of 13 themed settings both indoors and outdoors. In addition to 'Svalgurok', one of the largest outdoor slide landscapes in Europe, the extensive outdoor area ‘Snorri Strand’ has also been open to the public since last year. From May, it will even offer two more attractions: With three slides, there is plenty of water fun to be had for little adventurers at 'Snorri's Rutscheplads. Behind 'Snorri Strand', Rulantica's younger guests can try out two gently curving children's slides and a mini racing slide, all of which lead down from a hill. Snorri has also discovered plenty of flotsam on the 'Skip Strand’; perfect for building 'Snorri's Spelaborg'. This interactive play corner is easily manageable and is located behind 'Snorri Strand'.

As the children run around having fun, adults can enjoy the Baden sun on one of the over 1,000 loungers around 'Svalgurok' and 'Snorri Strand'. For a bit of summer comfort, eight Beach Sofas can be booked as well as the cosy Beach Islands. Visitors can experience luxurious relaxation on the 'Rulantica VIP Yacht’. In its own private outdoor area, you can look forward to your own sun deck, a refreshing outdoor shower, personal gastronomic service and much more.

From spring, there is even more space outside to relax: visitors can reach the Nordic sandy beach 'Dynstrønd' via a wooden footbridge. From May to September, on an area of 1,400m², the area offers more loungers, including comfortable beach chairs and stylish hanging chairs for that pure holiday feeling. There is a sand playground for children and a beach volleyball court for sports enthusiasts, ensuring plenty of holiday action. On the open-air stage next door, selected days offer that summery beach feeling with a great program of cool beats from a DJ or shows by Europa-Park artists, ensuring the best entertainment both in and at the water.

Next door, things are progressing fast for a new attraction. From summer, a special roundabout water ride from Mack Rides allows guests to immerse themselves in the mystical theme in gondolas decorated with runes. This is a great chance for visitors to quickly cool off. With the opening in Rulantica this summer, the ride will be presented in a water park for the first time worldwide.

All this water fun is bound to work up an appetite! From May to September, visitors can enjoy snacks such as delicious sandwiches, fruit cups and cakes at Snorri's Piknikbud on Snorri Strand. At the 'Strand Kök' food court, various delicacies can be enjoyed with a view of the 'Svalgurok' outdoor area, including salads and various coffee specialties, delicious waffles and ice cream swirls. In addition, visitors can now also take a break in 'Snekkjas Vinterhage’, a raised terrace with seating for 100 people - this area features a conservatory-style look and will be open in the summer to offer guests a shady spot on sunny days.

Dive into unique water fun

The indoor area also offers a variety of attractions for all age groups. ‘Dugdrob’ and ‘Vildfål’ fall freely through Rangnakor, the City on Stilts, guaranteeing a rush of adrenaline. Even the youngest visitors can let off steam in the indoor area of the water world at, the idyllic 'Trølldal' they can play in the water among the trolls in a safe environment and have their first slide experience. At the 'Diving Theatre' 'Snorri Snorkling VR' by MackNeXT and VR Coaster, which is unique worldwide, fans of the cute Rulantica character Snorri can dive into a fantastic underwater world while wearing VR diving goggles and snorkel.

Adults can also relax in the exclusive Hyggedal relaxation and sauna area. The wellness oasis with a Nordic ambience is located above the restaurant 'Lumålunda' and offers a fantastic view over the entire water world. Across an area of more than 1,000m², visitors will find comfortable loungers and three nude wooden saunas, from 18 years old, with a large outdoor terrace. The new 'KOTA Sauna Chalet' opened last winter. Here, guests can enjoy the proper sauna experience surrounded by rustic tables and seating, as well as a sauna oven, while enjoying a delicious wheat beer - with or without alcohol. Both 'Snorri Snorkling VR' and 'Hyggedal' are additional offers that can be booked online in addition to a day or evening ticket.
