Gentle gentle sun, warm sea with emerald water, indescribably pleasant boat trips on fabulous yachts and motor ships, swimming and fun at the attractions of three huge water parks - all this and many other entertainments can be enjoyed in the beautiful city by the Black Sea, name to whom - Gelendzhik.
Zolotaya Bukhta is a wonderful and largest water park in Europe
In 2004, a water park was built in Gelendzhik near the Black Sea - the largest not only in Russia, but also in Europe. In addition, the entertainment center is one of the five most prestigious complexes in Europe, which contributes to even greater attraction of tourists from far abroad to these parts. The total area of the water park is 15 hectares.
Before introducing the largest outdoor water park in Europe, let's see what else there is in terms of entertainment in Gelendzhik.
Entertainment in Gelendzhik
One of the most beautiful city embankments in Europe with a length of 12,000 meters is the busiest place for festivities in Gelendzhik. There are numerous very cozy restaurants, various bars and cafes.
Many beautiful children's cozy parks, alleys and three large water parks are presented for adults and children. You can also be in the mountains by riding one of the three cableways. One of the uphill roads passes over the safari park.
The largest Ferris wheel in Russia is located in the Admiral Vrungel park, its diameter is 80 meters. And in the oceanarium there are the largest aquariums in Russia with the most diverse inhabitants of the ocean.
The following water parks operate in Gelendzhik: Begemot, Dolphin and the huge Golden Bay. The latter has no equal in all of Europe.
Golden Bay Territory
What can please tourists the largest water park in Europe? Gelendzhik is located on the shores of the beautiful Black Sea, where the "Golden Bay" is located, conceived and built in a complex style with a mixture of different cultures from different eras. Walking through the territory, visitors can go through all corners of the park without getting on the previous routes.
In total, 67 slopes of the most varied complexity (up to 137 m), 17 pools, 10 different attractions and 44 slides (up to 25 m) were built here.
It all functions in complexes so that there are no problems with waiting in lines in order to enjoy this or that slope.
There is also a huge restaurant (700 seats), a summer cafe and a pizzeria.
Children's rides
The largest water park in Europe is equipped with wonderful and very numerous attractions for children. There is an amazing town for kids, a wonderful playground with a wide variety of slides, swings and trampolines. This site is made in the form of a fabulous old fortress, and water rides are designed for children of almost any age and request.
And there are slides no more than 1 meter high - even for the smallest kids - and lovely fountains. There are also unusual buildings, for example, a pirate ship with water cannons and much more, where children have fun with great pleasure.
The biggest indoor water park in Europe
The largest indoor water park in Europe has the beautiful name Tropical Islands. It is located in the north-east of Germany (in Brandenburg). Not only in Europe, but also in the world, this complex is the largest in size.
This gigantic miracle is set up in an abandoned military base. This building - a hangar, formerly a parking lot for airships - has been turned into a modern center for entertainment and sports on the water. The size of the territory is the area of 8 football fields.
The largest water park in Europe (indoor) is a tropical oasis of amazing beauty with exotic palm trees, lianas, thatched huts and pools. Its entire length is 360meters, and it is 210 meters wide.
The territory of this complex has different thematic areas: "Flower World", "Tropical Village", pools with the beautiful name "South Sea" and with no less exotic - "Bali Lagoon". There are also many waterfalls, sandy beaches with playgrounds, Jacuzzi and the most impressive attraction in Germany (height 25 m).
Any vacationer in such a cozy piece of paradise imagines that he is in a sultry fabulous resort. And it is located in the very center of Europe.
