The popular open-air swim­ming pool in Cossebaude with its 45,000 square meters swim­ming area stret­ches along the wes­tern city limits of Dresden directly at a reser­voir. The spa­cious area with a won­derful, chestnut-fringed sun­bathing lawn invites you to sun­bathe and relax. In addi­tion to the 485 square meter non-swimmer’s pool with water mush­room, a giant slide pro­vides lots of bathing fun. An extra paddling pool with 180 square meters of sur­face area lures the very young guests into the cool water. The faci­lity also offers a wide range of pos­si­bi­li­ties, among other things, visi­tors can try out various sports on the indi­vi­dual pit­ches. If you want, you can also have wind­sur­fing les­sons on the reservoir.

The snack bar ope­ra­tors are external ten­ants. They are respon­sible for their own ope­ning times, offe­rings and pricing.

On the wes­tern out­skirts of Dresden, above the Plau­en­schen Grund, lies the his­toric Luftbad Dölzschen. The well-kept, today pure nudist faci­lity in its natural green sur­roun­dings with a won­derful pan­o­r­amic view of the city at its feet was opened as early as 1870 — inspired by a natur­opa­thic asso­cia­tion. At that time it pre­sented itself as a pure air bath, today a water basin also entices to jump into the cool water. What has remained is the pre­fe­rence for nudism. In addi­tion to a beau­tiful, spa­cious sun­bathing lawn, the Dölzschen air bath has a 600 square meter water pool, divided into a swimmer and a non-swimmer area. The little bathing guests have a lot of fun in the water as well as on the lovingly desi­gned and varied out­door playground.

The Schwimmsport­komplex Frei­berger Platz is the lar­gest faci­lity for swim­ming and water jum­ping in Dresden. It offers state-of-the-art faci­li­ties right next to the city center. In two halls, club and recrea­tional ath­letes can swim their lanes daily in 50-meter pools with a water depth of two meters each. A variety of swim­ming and fit­ness courses com­ple­ment the offer, some of which are also held in the trai­ning pool with a slo­ping floor. Spa­cious chan­ging and shower cabins ensure a suc­cessful swim­ming expe­ri­ence. A spa­cious sauna area is located on the upper floor and invites you to relax after your sports acti­vi­ties. The entire com­plex is barrier-free.

In the east of Dresden, not far from the Elbe cycle path, you will find the moder­nized out­door pool Wostra. From the hig­hest diving tower of the city in the open-air, the brave ones can dare to jump from the “Five”, “Three” or “One”. Swim­mers swim their 50-meter lanes in the large com­bi­na­tion pool. Non-swim­mers and children will also get their money’s worth in the Wostra. The exten­sive, well-tended lawn invites you to relax and linger. A lovingly desi­gned play­ground and a paddling pool with an ele­phant slide are a par­ti­cular delight for our very young guests. Ori­gi­nally the open-air pool was built in 1930 on the initia­tive of the “Wochenend- und Strand­bad­ge­sell­schaft” — hence the name “Wostra”.
