The theme of this year's Land of Ice is based on a book by Niko Kupper, Dragons on The Way, the tale of the famous Klagenfurt dragon coming to life. An important part of the story takes place in Ljubljana, a city whose symbol is the dragon. As the title indicates, the event will feature various dragons, as well as several Slovenian landmarks and an ice slide. Visitors will be able to enjoy hot chocolate, mulled wine, and tea at an ice bar.

Sixty metric tons of ice
The fairytale images, created from an interplay of 60 metric tons of clear ice and snow, are on display in the large hallway, which is cooled to minus four degrees Celsius.

The sculptures were created by an international team of artists, which included Miro Rismondo, Bogdan Jerič, Klemen Omejc, Helena Rismondo, Dalija Sega Štok, Janez Dolšak, Neža Kranjc, Maria Groznaya, Rodrigo Andrés Cantos, Jesse Törmikoski, and Bojan Grujić.
