Find out how outdoor pools in Germersheim and the surrounding area are reacting to the return of the heat and what new regulations apply.
The heat remains: outdoor pools in Wörth and Kandel are well prepared!
In the hot summer time it is important to keep a cool head and keep an eye on the outdoor pools. A positive picture has been emerging in the region for some time: the Wörther Badepark had a peaceful operation last weekend without any special incidents. However, this feeling of well-being could soon be put to the test, because the heat is back and with it the worries about overcrowded outdoor pools. However, those responsible in Wörth and Kandel are well prepared for a possible heat wave, as Rheinpfalz reports.
However, the picture in other cities could be different. In Berlin, the media reported chaotic conditions in outdoor swimming pools, which had to be temporarily closed due to overcrowding. This shows that many visitors are looking to cool down when temperatures are high, which puts a lot of strain on the capacity of the swimming pools. The outdoor pools are also a popular retreat in Vienna, where an increase in the number of visitors is expected due to the long-lasting heat wave. According to Vienna.at, over 807,000 guests have already been counted since the end of May, which corresponds to an impressive increase of 24 percent compared to the previous year.
Preparations in Wörth and Kandel
Those responsible in Wörth and Kandel seem to have the situation under control. With a well-thought-out plan, they want to ensure that all visitors can enjoy the facilities without creating clutter. The new regulations that apply in these outdoor pools are intended to help direct the currents and, above all, to ensure safety. If it is difficult to find the perfect balance, those responsible are ready to make adjustments quickly.
In Berlin, however, this challenge is not so easy to overcome. The overcrowding in the outdoor pools means that they have to be closed temporarily, which is frustrating for many visitors. A sign that the city should be better prepared for the issue of heat and the associated flow of visitors can also be found in the wording of the consumer protection forum, which addresses the problem: “Heat chaos in the capital” was the motto of a recent report, which makes it clear that not only Berliners, but all city dwellers are looking for solutions.
Looking beyond the borders: What Vienna is doing
Beyond the challenges, Vienna shows how outdoor pools can be used as “important heat protection partners”. Climate protection and swimming city councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ) emphasizes the role of pools in combination with green areas and drinking fountains in order to cope with the heat. Even if the health risk caused by high temperatures particularly affects vulnerable groups, visitors should be attracted with uniform entry prices and an extensive range of entertainment in the outdoor pools. The entry prices vary and allow many people to enjoy cooling off:
| Type of person | Entrance fee |
|---|---|
| Adult | 7.60 euros |
| Young people (15-18 years) | 4.30 euros |
| Children (7-14 years) | 2.60 euros |
| Children under 7 years old | free |
In summary, the outdoor pools in the region are well positioned to welcome visitors during this hot period. Whether in Wörth, Kandel or Vienna – the interweaving of well-planned regulations and well-thought-out leisure activities will be crucial for success in this summer heat.
