Visitors enjoy the “South Sea”
beach, swim in lagoons, and slide down water slides at the Tropical
Islands indoor resort in Krausnick, Germany. Located on the site of a
former Soviet military air base, the resort occupies a hangar built
originally to house airships designed to haul long-distance cargo.
Tropical Islands opened to the public in 2004 and offers visitors a
tropical getaway complete with exotic flora and fauna, a beach, lagoon,
restaurants, water slide, evening shows, sauna, adventure park and
overnights stays ranging from rudimentary to luxury. The hangar, which
is 360 metres long, 210 metres wide and 107 metres high, is tall enough
to enclose the Statue of Liberty.
