Mountain swimming pool Erlenbach am Main

Description

The Bergschwimmbad was transformed into a modern outdoor swimming pool after the general renovation in 2016/2017. With the large stainless steel pool, the popular wave slide and the newly designed toddler area with direct access to toilets and changing room, the Bergschwimmbad leaves nothing to be desired.

At the swimmer's pool there is a device for wheelchair users to independently transfer to the edge of the pool and then lift themselves into the pool. In addition to a high pool edge at seat height, a flat staircase with handrail can be used as a further aid for entering the pool. The edge of the pool is visually contrasted with the surroundings.
