The Kosmos was a hotel constructed in 1934. The hotel was very well known throughout the region, primarily for the gorgeous views it offers. 

The hotel was also well known for its outdoor swimming pool, the only one in the region. The swimming pool was surrounded by forest and was situated on the slope of the mountain, but it would be the Achilles heel of this popular hotel.

In 2002, the license for the swimming pool was revoked. This caused the hotel to file for bankruptcy. In 2005, the was officially closed.  The pool has been broken down and the site has been refurbished into a park in 2010. On the location where the pool once was, an amphitheater was built. 

Know Before You Go

There is a large parking right next to the old hotel, the way down to the old pool site can be closed of, so head to the right of the parking and make a loop to the park and forest.
