Public Outdoor Pool Bad Steben

Description

The bathing idyll at the Pfarrbach offers unlimited bathing fun for the whole family. Splash, slide, swim or simply relax in the sun on the spacious lawn.

The outdoor pool at Therme Bad Steben is a true bathing idyll - everything shines in a magnificent green. The gleaming stainless steel pools and slides blend harmoniously into the gentle landscape along the Pfarrbach stream. From the generously designed kiosk terrace, there is a wonderful view of the sunbathing lawns and the blue shining pools with their different water depths. First and foremost is the large swimmer's pool with a racy 55-meter-long tube slide for young and old and a separate, separated outlet so that the swimmers are not disturbed while they are doing their laps. Pure swimming fun is also offered by the smaller youth pool with a wave-shaped wide slide, while the very youngest visitors get their worth in the baby and toddler pool. Two small slides, a bubble mushroom, three small water fountains and a fire engine invite to splash and frolic.
