One of Europe’s biggest theme parks opens new Wild West themed holiday village with wagon huts and cowboy bars
A NEW cowboy themed holiday village has opened at one of Europe's biggest theme parks.
Europa-Park - the second biggest theme park in Europe after Disneyland - has added another themed area called Silver Lake City, and it's all about cowboys.
Inside, visitors can set up camp in the accommodation village called Tipi Town - which has 630 beds.
Unlike most holiday villages, here you can sleep in a rustic wagon, or cosy log cabin, so you'll really feel like you're in the wild west.
There are also colourful tipi-style tents or western-themed houses.
Alternatively, you can camp in your own vehicle in the Europa-Park caravan park or sleep under the stars in your own tent.

The new accommodation can sleep from one person all the way up to 16 - if you choose to stay in one of the log cabins.
It's set to get even bigger too. In 2026 there will be a new Riverside Western Lodge with 120 rooms.
The huge guest house will be open for bookings from November 11, 2025.
Also in 2026 will be a new brewery with its very own craft beer.

Gold Rush Golf is a mini-golf course across the site - and anyone can have a go. The challenging course has towers, slides and twelve holes to swing into.
There's also an adventure playground with a steam train, swimming lake and campfires.
On the village site are also four new diners. One is called the Diner Station, which is in a western themed train station.
You can even enjoy delights of the buffet in specially designed carriages that have been fitted with tables.
There's also the Wild Horse Bar where you can have a tipple of whiskey like a cowboy, or beer and a cocktail too.
Silver Lake Saloon serves up hearty North American dishes like steak and barbecue ribs.
Finally, there's Cantina Amigo where you can order burritos, chilli and burgers.
Europa-Park opened a new year-round pool earlier this year, and it has a huge swim-up bar.
You'll find the outdoor pool Svømmepøl in the Rulantica water world, it's 660sqm and sits inside a Nordic-style 'volcanic landscape' and is heated to 32C.
The theme park recently celebrated its 50th anniversary where it added a brand new attraction based on its mascots.
The Grand Prix EDventure is the equivalent of a ghost train with an interactive gaming element.
The park's mice mascots Ed and Edda will be racing, and the ride will be based on the upcoming film, 'Grand Prix of Europe', a cartoon film that stars Ed and Edda voiced by Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Gemma Arterton.
One Travel Writer recently visited, he ventured through the mega theme park with 14 rollercoasters and 100 attractions.
