Heide Park Express

The Heide Park Express is the park train of Heide Park Resort. Like clever pirates, you scout the terrain first: right by the main entrance you board for a train ride through the entire front section of the park. The train has been running since 1978.

The concept

A black steam locomotive pulls open carriages through the park, past the water, through tunnels and between the trees. Along the way you can already plan which rides you'll conquer later.

The Experience

The ride is 1,045 metres long and takes about seven minutes. It's a gentle ride, lovely for young and old. The route is especially beautiful in autumn, when the trees change colour.

Discover Heide Park Express

Start at the entrance

The train departs right by the main entrance. A good first ride to explore the park.

Not the bus

Note: Heide-Park Express is also the name of the bus from Hamburg and Hanover. This Heide Park Express is the park train.

Open early

During Halloween the train ran early for hotel and campsite guests, but it stopped once it got dark.

Visitor information

There is no minimum height or minimum age. Children aged 8 and over may ride without an adult. Wheelchair users can board via the entrance, but the choice of seats is limited.
