Wunderland Kalkar Map and Brochure (2025 – 2019)
Built around a decommissioned nuclear power plant on the Rhine, Wunderland Kalkar turns its circular layout into a surprisingly walkable maze of hotels, rides, and riverside lawns. The central cooling tower now anchors Kernie’s Familienpark, where kids race go-karts and parents hunt for buffet spots before the afternoon queues form. A Wunderland Kalkar map helps guests link the lodging complexes, amusement area, and event halls without retracing steps—especially handy near the narrow bridge to the tower.
