RE: Trakai island castle - kingdom of Vytautas the Great

Looks very interesting.
Any idea why that large hole was cut into the ice? It looks like a place that people would go polar dipping (or whatever it's called when people swim in frozen lakes).

Hello, @leaky20! Yes, actually 2-3 days before we went to Trakai, there was a swimming contest, and hundreds of people participate in it. On this photo you can see the podium for the best participants. It was made of the ice bricks they got out from the lake.

Interesting. That's really neat. 👍

I thought that the podium was a bench but that would be awful to sit on in a swim suit lol.
