Hansa-Park (Germany)

Weather…

Hansa-Park in Sierksdorf on the Baltic Sea opened in 1977 under the name Hansaland and is Germany's only adventure park located by the sea. Covering a total area of approximately 46 hectares, the park gives over 125 attractions divided into various themed worlds, such as the Hanseatic League in Europe. Prior to its founding as Hansaland, the site hosted the first German Legoland from 1973 to 1976, some of whose building structures were incorporated into the new park. A striking feature of the park is the authentic reproduction of historic Hanseatic buildings from cities like Lübeck, Copenhagen, and Bruges. Technical highlights include modern roller coasters like Der Schwur des Kärnan, which features a 79-meter-high tower. The park places great emphasis on family-friendly offerings and maritime educational concepts that convey the history of the medieval trading alliance. Its location directly on the Bay of Lübeck provides visitors with panoramic views of the Baltic Sea from various rides.
