Rulantica: The Nordic water world

Water fun, relaxation & Nordic mythology

The Rulantica water world is a central component of the MACK Group's strategy to establish the Europa-Park Resort as a year-round destination with water attractions that perfectly combine adventure and relaxation. Michael Mack, Managing Partner of Europa-Park, has implemented a vision that combines adventure, relaxation and immersive story worlds.

Since opening in 2019, Rulantica has established itself as one of Europe's leading water worlds. Both thrilling and leisurely water attractions, lovingly themed, relaxing retreats and the Hyggedal sauna and wellness area offer adventure and relaxation for all ages.

For generations, the MACK Group has stood for innovation and quality - with Rulantica, we have created a new dimension of experience.

The world of Rulantica - a saga of magic, mysticism and adventure

Rulantica is more than just a water world - it is a mystical story inspired by Norse mythology. Michael Mack, Managing Partner of Europa-Park, was the creative mind behind the development of this fascinating story. His vision was to create an immersive experience that guests could discover not only in the water world itself, but also in books, audio books, comics and digital media. The story revolves around the mermaid Aquina, her brother Mats and Snorri, the mascot of the water world, who together protect the secret of the island.
With each new attraction, the story continues to grow, making Rulantica an immersive experience that captivates guests even when they’re away from the water world.

A milestone for the MACK Group

With an initial investment of €180 million, Rulantica is the largest single investment in the history of the MACK Group. The water world is a central component of the strategy to develop the Europa-Park Resort into a year-round holiday destination, regardless of the weather. Every detail, from the thematic design to the innovative water attractions, has been implemented with passion and a quest for perfection. The combination of water fun, relaxation and Nordic theming makes Rulantica unique in the European leisure industry.

Sustainability and leisure fun in harmony
Rulantica combines innovation, family friendliness and environmental awareness. Even during the construction phase, the focus was on sustainable concepts. The protection of the surrounding flora and fauna also played a central role: A large green area serves as a retreat for animals and plants, and the water world offers a harmonious interplay between nature and leisure activities.

For generations, the Mack philosophy has been one of constant innovation.
