Criticism of Plauen's outdoor pools: Further postponed opening!

Plauen, Deutschland - In Plauen, the outdoor pool feeling continues in the fresh air. While numerous outdoor pools in the surrounding area have already opened their goals in the 2025 bathing season, the sun worshipers in Plauen are still looking into the tube. This weekend, for many the starting signal for the bathing season, the weather does not seem to want to play along, which is why the opening of the Plauen outdoor pools has been postponed again. Bath chief Ronny Adler was able to confirm that the pools are ready and the water is filled, but the right cooling is long in coming. The starting start for the "Naddel" outdoor pool in Preißelpöhl was targeted for mid -May and had to be postponed due to the weather. Pentecost should also have opened the outdoor pool in Haselbrunn, but in this case too the weather intervened.

In the middle of this waiting, there are good news for the outdoor pools in Plauen. As the leading town has been reported, the outdoor pool in Preißelpöhl has learned extensive modernizations. This includes a renovated children's pool, new diving strips and additional energy -efficient improvements. A new water play frog was installed, especially for the small bathers, so that the children's area is now designed in a contemporary and safe manner. The popular classic, the outdoor pool fries, will also return and should particularly enjoy young visitors.

opening times and admission prices

The opening times for the outdoor pools are set until June 6th: The outdoor pool in Preißelpöhl is open on weekdays from 12 noon to 7 p.m. on weekends. From June 7th to August 10th, the Salzlaken lovers can go swimming daily between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., with longer opening times planned at high temperatures. The admission prices remain stable, so combi tickets are offered for the outdoor pools of Preißelpöhl, Haselbrunn and the city pool for 99 euros (adults) and 60 euros (children).

In addition to Plauen, there is also a growing discussion at the national level about the future of outdoor pools. As the Zeit reports, the German pool landscape is facing major challenges. Many outdoor pools suffer from a significant renovation backlog. A report estimates this traffic jam to around 4.5 billion euros. The bathing alliance is intensively committed to the preservation and modernization of the bathrooms, which is becoming more and more urgent in times of climate change and heat periods. So far, around 2500 lifeguards and swimming masters have been missing in Germany, which the Situation is also complicated.

look into the future

For the outdoor pools in Plauen, not only modernizations are waiting, but also structural changes. Concepts for sustainable outdoor pools even include the introduction of extendable roofs and a combination with indoor pools. In addition, there are considerations to develop new offers such as spray parks and usable fountains to enrich the city centers. The bathroom will surely change in the coming years and will be adapted to the needs of bad visitors.

Waiting for the open -air opening in Plauen remains exciting. It remains to be seen whether the weather -related obstacles can soon be overcome. A hot summer would be good business for the city and the swimming pool lovers!
