Raupenachterbahn

A long caterpillar full of cheerful energy

Raupenachterbahn is instantly recognisable by its colourful train winding through the park. The many cars make the climb look like one enormous caterpillar in motion, while the turns carry laughter from one row to the next. From the surrounding path, watching the whole train pass is almost as entertaining as riding it.

The direct appeal of a family coaster

The experience relies on pacing and changing direction rather than extreme forces. The caterpillar gathers momentum, dives into its curves and repeats the movement with enough energy to create genuine butterflies, while remaining easy for younger visitors to understand and anticipate.

Much of its charm comes from the shared nature of the ride. Parents, children and friends fill the same long train and react together through every bend. Raupenachterbahn has become a Bayern-Park classic because it keeps the immediate pleasure of a roller coaster without needing elaborate scenery or a complicated story.
