Energy and swimming pool company Hauenstein

The Wasgaufreibad Hauenstein, nestled in the idyllic and magnificent natural landscape of the Palatinate Forest, offers its guests of all ages an incomparable bathing experience in heated, spring-fresh natural water. Experience carefree hours in the midst of an impressive rocky panorama and on extensive sunbathing lawns, pure nature and the benefits of the Hauenstein outdoor pool:

In addition to the 50-metre stainless steel pool, which will delight all swimmers, the outdoor pool offers a separate non-swimmers' pool with a swinging bay, waterfall showers and massage jets. The diving facility (3 meter and 1 meter diving board) is a great place to test your courage. One attraction is the clever 45-metre-long large slide on a slope, which will delight young and old alike. For the little ones, there is a children's pool for splashing around and a spacious water playground, a trampoline built into the ground and a rope slide for playing. You can get that beach feeling playing on the beach volleyball court.
