Fort Fun Adventure Land

Visit the cosy amusement park in Bestwig-Wasserfall in northern North Rhine-Westphalia. There are 75 hectares to let off steam and the large area houses 49 rides and attractions, both futuristic and more contemporary and of course with old favourites such as the Waterfall. The amusement park is also a Wild West theme park and offers several different entertainment options, depending on the season.

In winter you can ski in the park and many people take advantage of this. In the summer you can explore the area on horseback or pony, and otherwise just get on with trying out the many rides.

There's a slide, and the more sedate Speed Snake and of course the Wild Eagle sky plane, which flies 700 metres down the mountainside at more than 50 miles an hour. One of the park's highlights is the Trapper SLIDER, Europe's longest toboggan run at 1.3km full of steep hills, loops and jumps.

There are lots of fun things to try, so set aside the day to visit, and don't forget to bring the kids.
