“The whole trip was fantastic. The only obstacle was the almost never ending queue for the line train. It would have been much better if it was booked for certain time so the group wouldn't have to wait in the line. We even didn' go there, because of the amount of people waiting there. The queue was 200-300 metres long. The wooden village is really beautiful especially in the winter - covered in snow. The thermal pools are perfect for relax after the whole trip”
