Swimming Pool Winterberg

Swimming Pool Winterberg (Steffi Rost)

Immerse yourself and switch off: Relaxed, guests take lane after lane in the 28-degree water. Large panorama windows provide a view of the romantic Helle Valley. At the Winterberg swimming pool, swimmers experience sporty swimming, relaxation and water fun with a view of the countryside.

Young people and adults have plenty of room for exercise in the spacious 25-meter sports pool. Starting blocks and a one-meter board offer the best training conditions. The adjacent outdoor pool is heated and open all year round. In summer you can recharge your batteries on the sunbathing lawn and enjoy the view of the Winterberg mountains.

Children love the small play area and splash enthusiastically in the children's pool with slide and other fun elements. Meanwhile, parents can swim in the barrier-free exercise pool and watch the little ones. The barrier-free pool can be adapted to individual needs with variable water depths, so that even guests with disabilities can feel comfortable.

To finish off, a visit to the adjacent sauna area is recommended.
