Discover Mystery Castle
Our tips:
- The pre-show is part of the experience
- A light show in winter
- Consider a Quick Pass
Mystery Castle
Mystery Castle is the drop tower in the Mystery themed area, hidden inside a 65-metre-tall fortress. The attraction opened in 1998 and is fully indoors.
The concept
First you walk through the castle's eerie halls, with sounds, effects and actors. Then you take your seat around the huge tower in the centre. The story revolves around a mysterious force that dwells within the fortress.
The Experience
In the dark you're launched upwards at 72 km/h, after which you plunge back down in free fall. This happens several times in a row. Because you can barely see a thing, you never know exactly when the next drop is coming.

The pre-show is part of the experience
Before you board, you walk through dark halls where actors give you a fright. If that's not your thing, it's best to know in advance.
A light show in winter
During Wintertraum, the tower becomes the backdrop for the light show Mystic Winter Castle.
Consider a Quick Pass
Want a shorter queue? At the Gästeservice in Berlin you can buy a Quick Pass for this attraction (€5 per ride, as of November 2026, while stocks last).
Visitor information
You need to be between 1.30 and 1.95 metres tall and at least 10 years old. There is no accompaniment rule. With the Baby-Switch, parents with young children don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then they swap. Mystery Castle is open all year round.
For daredevils
Mystery Castle is short but intense. Afterwards you can recover in the village of Klugheim, just a few minutes' walk away.
