Karl May Games draw over 200,000 visitors, surpassing last year's pace

The Karl May Games in Bad Segeberg, Germany, are experiencing a highly successful season, drawing more than 200,000 visitors to date. This figure surpasses the attendance pace of the previous year, with the 200,000th visitor being celebrated at the 35th performance of the current production, "Im Tal des Todes" (In the Valley of Death).

This year's play centers on the adventures of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand as they battle the villainous Roulin, portrayed by Florian Fitz. Roulin holds villagers captive in a mercury mine, forcing them to work under duress. The popular open-air theater, set against the natural backdrop of the Kalkberg, continues to captivate audiences with its blend of Western adventure and dramatic storytelling.

Ute Thienel, the managing director of the games, expressed her delight at the audience's positive reception of the current staging. "We are all very happy that the production is so well-liked by our guests," she stated. The milestone visitor, eight-year-old Matilda, and her parents from Malente were honored with a vacation voucher, adding a personal touch to the event's success.

The production "Im Tal des Todes" will continue its run until September 6th, offering multiple performances throughout the week. The strong attendance numbers highlight the enduring appeal of the Karl May adaptations and the successful execution of this year's show.
