Dive into the water world of Rulantica!
Rulantica is Europa-Park's water world, with indoor and outdoor pools in a Nordic setting. You'll find it in Rust near Freiburg, with more than 50 slides and attractions for families, thrill-seekers and anyone who just wants to relax.
Attractions
Rulantica has more than 50 slides and attractions across 14 themed areas. On Vikingløp you race down eight side-by-side tubes, and on Svalgur Rytt and Vinter Rytt you slide through a serpent's body and a halfpipe. You can drift along the Vildstrøm river or Snorri's Saga and catch some waves in the Surf Fjørd wave pool. For the little ones there are Snorri's Rutscheplads and Snorri's Spelaborg.
Food and drink
Rulantica's options include the Kelpie Café in the lobby, the Mediterranean Lumålunda by the Surf Fjørd and Snekkjas in the stilt town of Rangnakor. There are vegetarian and vegan dishes as well as gluten-free pizza and muffins. For soft-serve ice cream, head to the Langnese Happiness Station. You can't take your own food into the water area – it goes in a locker – but drinks are allowed (no glass bottles).

Great in the colder months too
The indoor and outdoor pools are heated, so Rulantica is a good plan in autumn and winter too. The outdoor areas Svalgurok, Dynstrønd and Snorri Strand are only open from May to September.
Find peace and quiet in Hyggedal
The Hyggedal sauna area has three textile-free saunas and the Damp Huset steam room. Check the official website to see which ticket you need for it.
Meet Snorri with the kids
Snorri the Sixtopus is Rulantica's mascot. Children aged 4 to 11 can take part in the Snorri-Rutschabzeichen, where they learn the slide rules and the most important swimming rules.
Entertainment
Some of the programme is included in the admission price, such as the Snorri-Rutschabzeichen for children and the Rulantica Vibes evening session at the Frigg Tempel with music and cocktails. There's also yoga and other workouts, plus meet-and-greets with mascot Snorri.
Practical information
