Debrecen Eye, a new attraction at the Christmas Fair of Debrecen – PHOTOS

Dehir.hu reports that this year, the Christmas Fair of Debrecen offers several novelties, like the big wheel of Debrecen.

The new attraction, called Debrecen Eye, has been in operation for a few weeks now in the Christmas Fair of Debrecen. It operates at the main square, and because of this novelty, the Christmas tree was set up closer to the Reformed Great Church of Debrecen this year. The 15-meter-high Christmas tree was offered by János Gábor Szilágyi, an inhabitant from the quarter of Kismacs in Debrecen. Furthermore, the younger ones can also enjoy sightseeing train tours between the Great Church and the big wheel that offers a great opportunity for them to admire the illuminated attractions.

The Christmas atmosphere is crowned by the 170,000 floodlights used as decoration for the Christmas Fair besides another 16,500 that dress up the Christmas tree itself.

In Piac Street, to the great delight of the visitors, the sight of the spectacular and extremely popular lighted tree and the lighted fountain can also be admired. In addition to this, the variety of attractions culminates in an illuminated ball into which people can even sit.
