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 Saxony’s first adven­ture pool, guests can have fun on over 600 square meters of water sur­face. An 80-meter-long giant slide is wai­ting to be con­quered just as much as the sports and adven­ture pool, the hot whirl­pool or the flow channel. The tro­pical sun­bathing garden or the sauna lure you to relax. Ori­gi­nally, the pool was planned as a stan­dard swim­ming hall for the Gor­bitz resi­den­tial area in the west of Dresden. Before the con­s­truc­tion was com­pleted, however, the GDR era ended. After the poli­tical tur­n­around there was the replan­ning to an adven­ture pool.

The popular family pool in the center of Dresden bor­ders directly on the Großer Garten. The visitor magnet has a spa­cious chan­ging and sani­tary area and is com­ple­tely bar­rier-free. Guests can swim in the 25-meter pool in the hall or in the 250 square meter adven­ture pool. Those who like it fast can climb the slide tower and go on a wild ride down through the tube from above. The slide is not only great fun because of the effect lighting, but at 93 meters it is also the lon­gest of its kind in Dresden. Several attrac­tions ensure that there is no time for boredom in the indoor swim­ming pool. For the little ones there is a sepa­rate paddling pool with a mini-slide. In the sauna land­scape “Swea­ting bet­ween Old Mas­ters”, guests can relax in the five themed saunas. Two restau­rants round off the offer in the Georg-Arn­hold-Bad. This pool looks back on a long history. Lar­gely paid for by the sports sponsor Georg Arn­hold, it was initi­ally built purely as an open-air pool until 1926. The indoor pool was only added in the 1990s, when the entire com­plex was trans­formed into an adven­ture pool.

In the middle of gree­nery, on the nor­t­hern out­skirts of Dresden is the natural Weixdorf bathing area. This out­stan­ding faci­lity with a long tra­di­tion has a lot to offer. Whe­ther swim­ming or a walk around the lake — (almost) ever­y­body gets their money’s worth here. The exten­sive area is a very spe­cial address for nature lovers. A lovingly desi­gned adven­ture play­ground offers a lot of variety for our little guests. In the ori­gi­nally res­tored chan­ging rooms of a former Elbe bathing resort, visi­tors also embark on a journey into a time long past.

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 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.

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. The air humi­dity, on the other hand, is very low at 10 to 30 per­cent. Our sauna master pro­vides addi­tional balm with infu­sions. Visit the Fin­nish sauna regu­larly to streng­then your immune system and train your heart and circulation!

Steam bath

With our steam bath we offer you a more gentle sauna variant. The tem­pe­ra­ture here is only 40 to 45 °C, but the air humi­dity rea­ches up to 100 per­cent. 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 breathing organs can also recover par­ti­cu­larly well under these con­di­tions. The steam bath also loo­sens cramped mus­cles and calms your nerves.

Log cabin sauna

In Elbamare, a real log cabin sauna awaits you out­doors, where you can sweat clas­si­cally in a rustic atmosphere.

Color light bath

The color light bath is ideal for sauna beg­in­ners. The tem­pe­ra­ture is a plea­sant 50 °C and the air humi­dity is 50 per­cent. So you can prepare yourself well for more “extreme” sauna variations.

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.

“Swea­ting bet­ween Alte Meister”

In the begin­ning there was an idea: We wanted to por­tray typical things from Dresden, the region and Saxony in a sauna land­scape. The result is unique: Our visi­tors can spend rela­xing hours in an extra­or­di­nary atmo­sphere around a glass atrium in five themed saunas, several coo­ling basins and res­ting cor­ners, while swea­ting bet­ween “Alte Meister”! How so? Dresden — the baroque pearl of Ger­many, which was also influenced by the Renais­sance, has a tre­asure trove of works by famous pain­ters from both epochs in its “Alte Meister” pic­ture gal­lery. Through a coope­ra­tion with the State Art Coll­ec­tions, we show sel­ected repro­duc­tions in our sauna landscape.
