Many Europeans probably have heard of Zakopane - a small town in Poland of 32 square miles that is often referred to as "the winter capital of Poland." It's a popular destination for winter sports as well as tourism and is basically a ski resort.
But it's not only known for that - Zakopane is home to the world's biggest snow maze that would even make Stanley Kubrick proud. The giant maze is larger than ten tennis courts and was pieced together by using over 60,000 ice blocks.

It took about a month, 50 workers and over 60,000 ice blocks to build this winter wonderland. The mesmerizing ice structure is complete with a 16-meter snow castle too, that is full of chambers with hidden treasures and ice sculptures.
It spreads across 2500 square meters

Snowlandia has proved to be a huge hit among tourists, who enjoy getting lost in the maze and looking at the wonderful sculptures, made by artists from Poland and Slovakia. The Snowland will be opened again to the public from January 2020.
