This ice attraction will have you go "brrr". Cold but beautiful.
The temple was inspired by Spanish Sagrada Familia -Roman-Catholic Basilica in Barcelona. 1440 ice blocks were used to build this ice kingdom. Together they form 190 tonnes of ice.
The Dome was built by Adam Bakoš together with a group of Slovak, Czech and Spanish sculptors and the beautiful tinted glass details were done by Achilleas Sdoukos, a glassmaker of Slovak-Greek origin (source)
The theme of this year is "tribute to family". In the very centre of the church, you can see a couple holding a baby:
Other than that, the mountain animals were also sculpted from ice - you will find here ice sculptures of bears and mountain goats.
I visited the Dome last year, too, and it had a totally different interior. It changes every year.
Also, some people decide to marry here. Hopefully, they don't get cold feet before the ceremony:D
If you decide to travel to Slovakia in winter, I would definitely recommend visiting this attraction.

Here in Finland, Lapland, there's also an ice attraction: A Game of Thrones themed ice hotel

Btw, another tip:
In the future remember to take post rewards as 50/50 (half STEEM, half Steem Dollars) instead of Powering Up 100% because the value of one SBD (Steem Backed Dollar) is actually over 3 USD so you get more value when you trade the SBD to STEEM in the internal market - to which you can navigate through your wallet - and then power up.
Here's the detailed explanation from my earlier comment when I explained it to another user:
Wau, that hotel looks so cool!
However, isn't it too cold to sleep there??
And huge thank you for the useful Steemit tip, I didn't know that:)
I think you can handle it with a lot of clothing and a thick sleeping bag :D Although it is only recommended to spend one night in there and the rest in some warmer accommodation.
Yes, a thick sleeping bag or two :D And a trip to Bali the next day :D
