Enjoy an 5 * “ice stay” at Balea Lac

If you aEnjoy an 5 * re looking for exotic destinations for your winter holidays, here is a very interesting suggestion for the most brave of you: a stay at a 5 star hotel up, at 2034 meters above the sea level, at Balea Lac, near Sibiu. The sight is absolutely wonderful and for sure it will be a trip never to forget. The hotel has 10-12 large bedrooms and are all decorated on the theme of the solar system, each bedroom being the guest of a planet and can accommodate up to 150 people- reservations have been made all through the autumn and people are coming from all around the world to see the beauty of the landscape and drink a hot tea in the heart of an ice bedroom.
Shaped like an igloo, the hotel took one month to build, costing almost 10,000 euros. Serving wine at room temperature might be fun, because this will be between 0-2oC (maybe that’s why there is offered the very much appreciated Palinca, a typical Romanian form of plum brandy.) The idea was to attract people “to the unspoilt forests of some of Europe’s greatest wilderness.” The Carpathian mountains is a heaven for brown bears, wolves and a wealth of other wildlife and plant species found nowhere Enjoy an 5 * else!

Also, very near to the hotel there will be also built a small, amazing church where the people can actually get married in such an exotic location. What the organizers bring new this year is the modern club that has been made specially for the brave one that want to spend their holidays there, dancing and having fun at 0 degrees.
