How's this for recycling? 37 miles south of Berlin, a former aircraft hanger has been transformed into a year round tropical paradise straight out of a science-fiction movie. Tropical Islands (great work on the name Germany) has a 200 room hotel, seven different spas, thirteen bars and restaurants, a beach, a rainforest, a lagoon and a golf course. Makes Mosney look like a piece of crap no?
Costing a meager €34.50 to enter, visitors have access to all sorts of activities in the balmy controlled environment of 26 degrees Celsius. The 75,000 square-meter hanger is also tall enough to fit the Statue of Liberty in it. German efficiency at work if ever we saw it. Although it does feel like the premise to something very The Truman Show.
