Page "Ice hotel" Paragraph 15

This picturesque setting is next to Bâlea Lake, where each year local craftsmen wait for the lake to freeze, before using the ice to build the small 14 room Ice Hotel and its adjacent Ice Church.

Local artists imitate sculptures by Romanian modernist sculptor, Constantin Brâncuşi.

Typically the hotel is completed in December and is open until it melts in late April or early May.
