The biggest rinks in the world. How to serve roller

The other day in St. Petersburg, a new rink was opened, which is also the largest in the northern capital. We decided to see where the rollers, impressive tourists and local residents are still located, and we present a selection of eleven largest rinks of the world.

Perhaps the greatest winter rink of the world can be called the mountain lake Zhu (Lac de Joux) in Switzerland: its area is almost 5,000,000 sq.m. Tourists from all over Evprov come to this place. The lake is not just beautiful, but in a sense "exclusive": it freezes it only for two weeks a year. Therefore, the most sophisticated lovers ride skating waiting for these days with some impatience. In the high season on Lake Zhu pass on figure skating competitions, as well as ice carnival evenings.

Almost half the leader of the Lake Patersvodsemer, located south-west of the Dutch city of Groningen, is its area of \u200b\u200b2,700,000 sq.m. Patersvodsemer is part of Lake Groningen-Drenthe. In the warm season, fans of walking on the lungs of ships hurry here, and in winter, the place turns into a huge ice rink. This lake is not only among the largest in the area, but is the longest rink, stretching out for as much as 10 km. Its water surface in winter is covered with a durable ice crust, which rests before the beginning of the spring, allowing daily riding to thousands of leisure lovers in the fresh air.

The third place of our rating of large rollers of the world is occupied by Channel Rido in Canada with an area of \u200b\u200b1,620,000 sq.m. The channel stretches almost through the entire center of the capital of Canada Ottawa, and it is worth noting that in winter the locals here practically do not remove skates, quickly getting up using this eco-friendly type of "transport" anywhere in the city center. In Ottawa for fans of skates, city authorities even invented road signs: green - forward, red - too warm, ice lost strength!

In this case, it is impressive not only a rink, but also the work of the local Canadian administration.

In fourth place, the Mexican capital with his roller, located in the center of Mexico City. The rink area reaches 32,000 square meters, and has an artificial coating. The rink in Mexico City is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest artificial skating rink in the world. In order for the skating rink to exist for a long time, 74 km laid under the ice. The pipes that are connected to special devices supporting the required temperature.

"The main rink of Russia" on the 7th place of our list - the Red Square in Moscow 6 winters in a row becomes an ice platform for Muscovites and guests of the capital. Outdoor GUM - rink occupies the tenth of the Red Square, and on its territory 2,700 sq. M. It is not just fun to spend the time of vacationers (capacity - 450 people), but hockey matches are also arranged and demonstration of skaters. Near the ice site, a fabulous wooden town is erected, from where you can watch the riding.

It is almost the same on the area (2600 sq. M.) The rink is available in New York: Wollman Rink is spacious, beautiful, but most importantly - he became a legend thanks to the participation in numerous romantic scenes of Hollywood films. In reality, the rink is as beautiful as in the movie, and that it is pleasant - you can ride here around the clock - a great place of leisure for all kinds of romantics. By the way, the rink is already 64 years old - for the first time skaters came out on his ice in the distant 1950th! A pleasant winter holiday bonus on the rink is the ability to face a movie star - say, Wollman Rink love Jim Carrey, Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman.

Paris's City Hall every year makes citizens every year, installing the rink right at his walls: everyone will be happy to ride a 435 square meale. m.

Seefeld, Austria. This quiet Tyrolean village may argue with the best international ski resorts. All conditions for winter sports are created here, primarily by mountain skiing. However, those who still have the strength after skiing are invited to a rink, open from December to March in the Valley of the Tsillertal Square of 1,500 sq.m.

And, finally, we closes our heypade of the most "grandiose" rinks of the world of Arena although not the largest (only 200 sq. M), but certainly the most spectacular and romantic, because it is located in the heart of Paris, on the Eiffel Tower, at an altitude of 57 meters . A rink of 200 m² also opens to visitors a stunning panorama of Paris. Skating - excellent entertainment, and in this place the atmosphere also supports French music, as well as original lighting effects. To warm up in this kingdom of metal and ice, a bar is organized in which you can buy hot coffee, hot wine and other drinks. The ice prime minister took place in 1969, but the ice is poured not every year, and the rink is working only until January 31. The rink on the Eiffel Tower is also included in the five most visited christmas rinks of the world.

Also enjoy in great demand among tourists rollers in Vienna at the City Town Hall, on the Museum Square in Amsterdam and in London at the Museum of Natural History.

Do not know what to do on the weekend?
And how do you like the idea - skate?
Many rinks in Moscow, and the largest and qualitative, of course, in Sokolniki and the park them.

Yesterday the ranks of the biggest rinks were replenished! On November 28, another one - the largest in the world was opened at the VDNH!

Its area is 20.5 thousand square meters. And it is only an ice coating area, just a rink with infrastructure takes about 57 thousand square meters. Such achievements in the field of winter leisure began thanks to the measure of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin, heading the headquarters for the revival of the VDNH.

We decided to collect our blogger parties and go ride. In addition, in the evening, the discovery was promised to show an incredible show.

In the middle of the rink we noticed a huge crane, and immediately understood that there would be something ambitious. Indeed, at an altitude of 17 meters in the air, a huge construction resembling a chandelier, which was suspended drummers and acrobats of the Flying French Theater La Compagnie Trans Express.

"Heavenly Carillon" - the so-called show. Actually, this is the name of the flying design in the form of a lotus flower, which throughout the show spinning and changed its shape.

On the entire perimeter, the rink is located a few entrances to the rink, there are rolling of skates, all of them are new, and on some even the tag has not yet been removed. Skates are comfortable, very high quality.

The only thing that was a little embarrassed is or skates were badly shaped or simply the ice by that time was already a smallness of the pintage. Well, really, yesterday there was just an allochang who wanted to ride a lot. I hope the coverage will clean and update regularly.

The rink is divided into several parts: Alley of lovers, children's zone, extreme zone, there is even a hockey box for lovers to play, well, and a huge ice space for lovers just ride in a circle.

The entire rink area is decorated with various lighting figures, as well as the bridge of the rainbow overflowing with all colors. Throughout the route, spotlights change light are installed.

And of course on the territory of the rink and next to it there are many dots of food and toilets. It is very convenient.
