In the central part of the Fagaras Mountains, in the glacial Balea, there is the lake with the same name. Every year here, during the winter of January - March, the only ice hotel in Romania and Eastern Europe is built from the ice blocks from Lake Balea.
Starting with 2005 in Balea, in Fagaras Mountains you can sleep in a special hotel. Here, both building materials and furniture and decorations are made of: ice and snow. Depending on the theme approached each year the decorations are different. In 2014, the theme chosen for decorating was "Baroque in the Ice".
