No we didn't stop at the beach!! On the way back to Berlin (36 miles southeast of Berlin), we stopped at the Tropical Islands Resort...it is an artificial tropical resort and is said to be the world's largest tropical indoor pool which can accommodate up to 8,000 visitors a day and the world's largest indoor waterpark at 710,000 sq feet.
The structure was orginally built as an airplane hanger - 360 meters long, 210 meters wide and 107 meters high. At 194 million ft³ it is one of the largest buildings on Earth by volume, and is the world's largest single hall without supporting pillars inside. The hangar cost €78 million, but the airship it was intended to house was never built.
When we went it was incredibly packed, couldn't find a free place to sit on the sat or the seats near the beach. This park isn't quite equipped for children nor adults, with only a few slides and water toys. However, it was a sight to see! Also it was very warm and after a chilly Prague this was a tropical delight!!
