Saline bath

Salinenbad

Uniquely, the new Salinenbad is located directly next to the graduation works and blends harmoniously into the landscape. The view of nature and the healthy air of the Saline Valley make the Salinenbad a special experience for young and old. 

During the indoor season, a 25-meter swimming pool with six lanes and a diving board, a toddlers' pool and a teaching pool with 100 square meters of water are available to bathers. During the summer season, a non-swimmers' pool with about 1,000 square meters of water surface, a toddlers' and adventure slide, a spacious green sunbathing area, a swimmers' pool with 50-meter lanes, and the toddlers' pool (covered in the indoor pool) with a mud playground invite you to linger. Barrier-free access is available. More info at  www.salinenbad.de
