Parkshow Raveleijn

Ten years ago, Olaf Grafhart and his mechanical monster Draconicon were defeated by the five riders. Now, a new era has started in Raveleijn. The magical city is festively decorated with colorful flags waving softly in the wind. Majestic tents and tables full of delicious food create the scene for a wedding."

The citizens of Raveleijn have gathered for a special event: the wedding ceremony of Thomas and Samira. But suddenly, the celebration is interrupted. A dark power appears… The sky grows dark, the ground shakes, and a threatening shadow falls over Raveleijn. Who will manage to win the battle for the city?

The city of heroes and legends has something to celebrate. Love and happiness fill the city walls. But beneath the party, something ominous is hiding. A shadow creeps over the city. Sneaky. Threatening. The battle for the city has begun!

Herberg De Verslaeghen Draek

At Herberg De Verslaeghen Draek, young and old can enjoy a good breakfast, an extensive lunch and a delicious dinner at any time of day.

The inn of Raveleijn is a place where you find good food, warmth and company. Travelers from all over the world have visited the inn over the years and brought not only different recipes, but also tasty ingredients. A special spice mix for meat, for example, and a bottle of Japanese sauce. The innkeeper and his wife use these recipes and special ingredients for the new menu. You can even order a piece of Thomas and Samira’s wedding cake.
