Silver Lake City at Europa-Park: the Far West grows with the Riverside Western Lodge

Silver Lake City, the western-themed town of Europa-Park Resort, welcomes a new themed accommodation with the launch of the Riverside Western Lodge, in Rust, Germany, since June 2026. Only about 2h34 from Paris-Est by TGV, this property expands the park’s lodging options with 119 rooms, 532 additional beds, new dining spaces, and a lineup of activities tailored for families, groups, and short stays.

The Riverside Western Lodge embraces the visual language of the American West, with wooden façades, warm tones and a deliberately detailed décor. This new 7,700-square-metre complex adds to an already varied lineup that includes tipis, roulottes, log cabins, Western Houses, campsites and spaces for caravans. Roland Mack, founder and owner of Europa-Park, sums up the evolution: "With the Riverside Western Lodge, we’re continuing the development of Europa-Park Resort," he says. And he continues: "This western town uniquely pairs nature-friendly accommodations, authentic theming and leisure options." He concludes: "What began nearly 25 years ago as a small village with colorful tipis and tent pitches has become a full-fledged resort, offering visitors even more choices for a multi-day stay."

On the dining side, Silver Lake City is adding several more spots to its Western town ambiance. The Silver Lake Brewery is set to serve its own unfiltered blonde beer, the Silver Lake Brew, with a tasting area overlooking the brewery. Visitors will also find Grandpa Will’s Hot Dogs, Cold Rush Western Ice Creams, the restaurant Diner Station, the Wild Horse Bar, the Silver Lake Saloon, or Cantina Amigo, geared toward groups. The site thus leans into a complete offering, spanning quick bites to a themed restaurant.

Leisure options round out the extension, featuring the virtual reality hub YULLBE GO, the Gold Rush Golf mini-golf, the Choo Choo Station play area, the 24/7 self-service Wild West Store, and the San Antonio Chapel, which can host ceremonies. Ann-Kathrin Mack, co-managing partner of Europa-Park, notes: "Silver Lake City is a project carried forward with a lot of passion. After more than two years of work, every detail has been considered so visitors can escape into another world." From the 1998 campsite that gave way to this 10-hectare Western town, Europa-Park Resort continues to develop a self-contained stay proposition, blending quirky accommodations, on-site dining, and activities.
