    Tips

    Don't forget your swimwear, it's worth it. The lake is always a bit colder than outdoor pools, but as I said - it's worth it.

      In summer a nice place to enjoy a relaxing day at the Eiserbachsee.

        The outdoor pool is open 24/7 all year round and is free. Ideal after a hike.

          Beautiful bathing bay at the Rurstausee, small side pool. Playground, sunbathing areas, kiosk.
