Drachengrotte

The Drachengrotte is a boat ride on Drachenzähmen – Die Insel, the themed area based on DreamWorks' "Drachenzähmen leicht gemacht" films. Only the strongest Vikings dare to make the journey to the forbidden cave. As a dragon-strong family, you're bound to manage it.

The concept

You sail a Viking boat through the dark Drachengrotte. Dangerous shallows and mysterious creatures await you; even brave Fischbein's knees start knocking. The ride has existed since 1994 and was converted into this cave by Zierer in 2016.

The Experience

The ride is around 230 metres long and lasts roughly five and a half minutes. In the cave you'll meet the dragon heroes from the films, such as Hicks and Ohnezahn. It's dark, but not scary. Are you as brave as Hicks and Astrid?
