Aquapulco-Piratenwelt, Water park in Bad Schallerbach, Austria.
Aquapulco-Piratenwelt is a pirate-themed adventure water park in Bad Schallerbach, Upper Austria, part of the EurothermenResort. Indoors it holds five slides of different lengths, interactive water play equipment with cannons, pumps and water wheels, and an adventure trail with a viewing platform, suspension bridges and crawl tunnels.
