And yet, even in the heart of Europe there are real tropical oases – with fine sandy beaches, clear lagoon and spectacular slides – waiting for us at just a few hours of flight from Romania.
Such a place is Tropical Islands Resort, located in Germany, the largest interior water park in Europe and world leader as the largest unitary covered building. Although as an area it was dethroned by the Polish Suntago Wodny świat, Tropical Islands remains an architectural and experiential miracle, taking into account the diversity of interior spaces.
