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.

In the his­to­rical Klotz­scher Schwimm­halle, visi­tors can swim in a pool of over 300 square meters. In the front part, there is also a non-swimmer area with a water depth of 60 cen­ti­me­ters. The five 25-meter lanes are used not only by recrea­tional ath­letes in public swim­ming but also by clubs and the par­ti­ci­pants of swim­ming courses. The swim­ming hall, which was com­pleted in 1935 and is a listed buil­ding, also includes a gym­na­sium. Both look back on a long tra­di­tion and are popular sports faci­li­ties in the north of Dresden. They exude a very spe­cial flair through various design ele­ments such as the Olympic rings or facade pictures.

In his­to­rical ambi­ence, visi­tors to the Nordbad can enjoy a 16 by 8 meter swim­ming pool with adjus­table bottom for regu­la­ting the water depth, which is often used for dif­fe­rent courses. In the well­ness area there are also dif­fe­rent saunas and pools. The oldest swim­ming hall in the city (opened in 1895) is “hidden” in a back­yard in the middle of Dresden’s Neu­stadt. In the first years the ladies and gen­tlemen shared the pool by the day. Above all, however, it was the 22 bath­tubs that were actively used for per­sonal hygiene. In the decades that fol­lowed, the pool was rebuilt and extended several times. Alt­hough it remained uns­ca­thed during the Second World War and sub­se­quently resumed its ope­ra­tion, the Nordbad was closed at several stages from the 1970s onwards. A citi­zens’ initia­tive achieved an exten­sive rede­sign and in 1996 the reope­ning of the listed building.

In the bar­rier-free Bühlau swim­ming hall in the north-east of Dresden there is a 25-meter pool made of stain­less steel with six lanes. A smaller course pool with a lif­ting floor and a paddling pool for children enrich it as well as three dif­fe­rent saunas on the upper floor. Some­thing spe­cial is wai­ting for visi­tors on the first floor: not only health-con­scious people will get their money’s worth in an infrared cabin. The room with the heat-radia­ting seats is modelled on a his­to­rical streetcar. This is a reminder of the area’s his­toric past. The Bühlau indoor swim­ming pool is located on the site of an old streetcar station.

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 snack bar ope­rator is an external tenant. He is respon­sible for his own ope­ning times, offe­rings and pricing.

The char­ming Waldbad in the former health resort of Langebrück is located on the edge of the local recrea­tion area Dresdner Heide. Family-fri­endly and natural, the out­door pool has a 4,000 square meter water sur­face and a sepa­rate water play­ground. In addi­tion, the little guests can whizz down a slope in a Flying Fox (cable car). The exten­sive bathing area is ideal for sporty active people. In addi­tion to a small soccer field, guests will find table tennis tables and a beach vol­ley­ball court. The well-kept faci­lity, which is inters­persed with trees and bushes, looks back on a history of more than 100 years and still pre­serves its idyllic cha­racter with con­stantly flowing forest spring water and many loving details.

Herbal sauna

60 °C and chan­ging lighting ensure a plea­sant tem­pe­ra­ture and atmo­sphere in our herbal sauna. Fresh herbs are boiled over the sauna oven to a brew. This creates a very spe­cial plea­sure for the senses.

Fin­nish sauna

The Fin­nish sauna is the classic. Proven for cen­tu­ries, it relies on dry heat. Here you sweat at a room tem­pe­ra­ture of up to 90 °C.

Many people find it much more plea­sant in a steam bath than in a classic sauna. On the one hand, the tem­pe­ra­ture is not as high, on the other hand, a steam bath has num­e­rous posi­tive effects on your health. If you have rheu­matic com­plaints or a cold, you will find the cli­mate par­ti­cu­larly plea­sant and rela­xing. Your skin and hair as well as your respi­ra­tory organs can also recover par­ti­cu­larly well under these con­di­tions. The steam bath also loo­sens cramped mus­cles and calms your nerves.

Infrared cabin

Do you have back pain or lum­bago? Does your scia­tica cause you pro­blems or do you have pain in your joints? Then you will find a visit to our infrared cabin par­ti­cu­larly plea­sant. Because of their deep warmth, infrared rays are used in the­rapy as well as in well­ness tre­at­ments. The radia­tion pene­trates the upper layers of your skin, trans­forms into warmth and then spreads throug­hout your body due to the increased blood cir­cu­la­tion. In addi­tion, your immune system will be streng­thened con­sider­ably in our infrared cabin.

Garden house sauna

In one of the sauna gar­dens of the swim­ming com­plex there is an out­door sauna in garden house style. With a view of the land­scaped gar­dens, you can sweat in the sauna at drier tem­pe­ra­tures and up to 90 °C, just like in a Fin­nish sauna.

Ice foun­tain and rest

In addi­tion to various coo­ling showers typical of saunas, some­thing spe­cial is wai­ting for you after the sweat bath for shock-free­zing. Visi­tors lay fresh ice from a well directly on their skin — this makes for a ting­ling expe­ri­ence. Those who wish can also step into a plunge pool or boost their cir­cu­la­tion in foot basins. Out­side there is also a Kneipp course for bare­foot people. The guests rech­arge on the com­for­table loun­gers in the large rela­xa­tion room, where they can also read. The chic bar offers refres­hing drinks.
