Swimming fun in Tübingen: The best outdoor pools and lakes for hot days!

The hot summer days are in full swing, and the outdoor pools and lakes in the Tübingen region offer the perfect opportunity to cool off and enjoy the sun. The first rays of sunshine have drawn people to the outdoor pools, where swimming, splashing around and relaxing are on the agenda.

A real highlight is the Tübingen outdoor pool. Here, bathing enthusiasts can swim lengths in a 50-meter swimming pool, while children happily splash around in the special toddler area. The pool is open from 6 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. - from August 1st the times are a little later. The entry price of 5.80 euros is attractive for both concession holders and season ticket holders. The extensive lawn and sports areas for beach volleyball, football and basketball round off the offering, so there is something for everyone.

Outdoor wave pool and other offers

Another visitor magnet is the outdoor wave pool in Reutlingen. There, a wave pool and an adventure pool with slides invite you to have lots of fun. The pool is open on weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission costs 5 euros. There are also numerous offers here, such as a nudist area and a charging station for e-bikes.

If you prefer something a little quieter, you can visit the outdoor swimming pool in Rottenburg. The pool is open daily from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and offers a variety of sports and play opportunities for children for 5.20 euros. The Mössingen outdoor pool closes with similar offers and also has low entry prices.

And for those who are looking for a natural experience, there are also several natural swimming areas available. The Kirchentellinsfurter Baggersee and the Aileswasensee near Neckartailfingen not only offer toilets and kiosks, but also flat banks that are ideal for families.

Health aspects of bathing

But how safe is swimming in famous waters like the Neckar? Caution is advised here because although swimming is not prohibited, the water quality is not regularly checked. Health risks can arise after rainfall, and dangerous currents and underwater obstacles lurk in many places. The authorities also warn against blue-green algae, which, when present in high concentrations, can cause skin irritation and even produce toxic substances. Bathers should avoid water with a noticeable blue-green color or visible “carpets”. Such warnings are issued by the health authority if the water values ​​are not correct. In Tübingen, however, the Hirschau and Kirchentellinsfurt bathing lakes have achieved the top grade of “excellent” for their water quality in the last four years, as the Kreis-Tübingen-Seite reports.

Always keep an eye on the current water quality if you want to dive into the refreshing waters. After all, good planning ensures carefree bathing fun! Enjoy the hot days and maybe we'll see you at the next outdoor pool!
