Enjoyable swimming for the whole family in our refreshing natural swimming lake

 

As a special extra, our overnight guests can enjoy a modern natural swimming pond. What makes our pond unique is its method of water treatment. We avoid using chemicals or chlorine – instead, the water is treated naturally according to the latest ecological standards.

​

A balanced system with special gravel substrates, dedicated plant filters, and modern pump technology ensures excellent water quality that meets high hygiene standards. The natural swimming pond combines clear, clean water that doesn't sting your eyes with the comfort of a familiar swimming pool.

​

Good to know: In a nature-based swimming pond, microorganisms take over the job of purification. As part of this natural process, you may notice a thin, slippery layer – called biofilm – on the walls or floor. This is completely normal, harmless to health, and a sign that the ecosystem is in balance.

​

Please note: The pond is operated naturally and is not heated – refreshing swimming in its purest form!

The water depth in the swimming area is a maximum of 1.35 m, with a length of 21 m, making the pond suitable even for sporty swimmers. Along the shores, several separate plant zones offer the chance to observe nature up close. With a bit of luck, you might spot colorful dragonflies, beautiful blossoms, or even the occasional amphibian taking refuge in these areas. This nature-friendly facility with its high recreational and experiential value blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape.

​

Right by the dike, you'll find a lovely bathing spot with a small sandy beach. You can relax here and swim in the North Sea, depending on the tide, within the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Wadden Sea. If you're planning a day trip to St. Peter-Ording, you can enjoy one of the largest sandy beaches on the North Sea coast. In Husum and St. Peter-Ording, you'll also find public indoor pools for rainy or colder days.
