ICE AGE COMES TO LUEBECK
Annual Ice and Snow Sculpture Fesitval
Lubeck's
International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival returns every year to this town in Northern Germany. Eight
trucks deliver 150,000 kilos of ice blocks of different sizes made
in Belgium
and Britain
were delivered to the Ice World construction site near the banks of
River Trave. After
the blocks arrive at the Ice World area, forklifts stack
them into position for carving by an international team
of ice sculptors. Artists use ladders and scaffolds
to work with cutting chain saws before shaping the ice with more refined
chisels and picks.
The location of Ice
World is at the Music
and Congress Hall which is converted during the 8 weeks into a chilly winter scene
in front of the historic Old Town Peninsula of Hansiatic Luebeck in Schleswig-Holstein
north of Hamburg . The complex will house it's own ice
rink, toboggan run, and a cosy winter village, for hot cider at the Traveufer.
The International
Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival runs from early December through the end of January. The Festival hours are
from Monday to Saturday,
10.00 am until 21.00 pm and on Sunday from 10.00 am until 20.00 pm. Exception for bank holidays with adjusted hours. Price for adults: € 8.00 and children (4 to 12 years). © Bargain
