Allergy sufferers and health-conscious individuals especially appreciate the chemical-free pool in the Kemnather Land. Naturalness is also paramount in the building materials. Many natural materials such as stone, sand, and wood were used. The sandy beach and the new wide-wave slide are crowd-pullers. On hot summer days, young people also enjoy jumping into the cool water from the 1-, 3-, or 5-meter diving boards. Opening hours: Daily 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. weather permitting.
