The concept

During excavation work in the park, centuries-old catacombs were discovered. The villagers take visitors on a "catacomb tour", but some never came back. An anonymous video warns: it's not a tour, it's a Dämonen Gruft. You climb aboard anyway.

The Experience

Four to a car, you ride for about three minutes through dark passageways full of skulls, statues and sounds. We won't give away exactly what you'll encounter. Expect jump scares and an atmosphere that suits the demons of Transsilvanien.

Not for easily frightened children

The park calls Dämonen Gruft the scariest dark ride in Germany. Children aged 8 and over are allowed on, but think beforehand about whether it might be too scary.

Pay attention to the story

The story already begins in the queue. Look around carefully and you'll understand why the "catacomb tour" is no ordinary tour.

Ride as a four

Each car seats four people. With your own little group, you experience the ride together.
