Anyone looking for an open-air swimming pool nearby or perhaps wanting to discover an as yet unknown bathing lake will find it online.
When the temperature is high, for many people there is hardly anything better than a cool ice cream and a visit to the outdoor pool. However, if you are new to an area, are only visiting there or want to find a bathing tip that you are not yet familiar with, you have to look for it first.
Everything at a glance
An online tool that makes searching easier is the Lido guide from Das Örtliche. With just a few clicks, users can check here whether a trip could be worthwhile. Swimming fans can discover pools and bathing lakes in federal states and metropolitan regions or search directly for a place or the corresponding zip code. The individual sub-pages then contain information on admission prices, how to get there and links to the homepage, among other things.
Alternatively, users can also find what they are looking for on the homepages of their cities, municipalities or districts, some of which also offer an overview of the offers. In any case, swimming enthusiasts should take a look at the corresponding pages of the pool or the city before a visit, where information about possible restrictions and requirements due to the corona pandemic should usually be listed.
That is why looking behind is important
For example, it can also be the case on site that a visit has to be registered online or a time slot has to be reserved. So if you want to stop by the outdoor pool spontaneously at the weekend, you could be turned away at the entrance. In addition, information should be found on whether, for example, a negative test is to be submitted, whether the pool only has limited swimming times or whether it is possibly closed. Stadtwerke München offer, for example, an overview page with all important information and an online reservation.
Some comparable offers are also available as a separate app for smartphones. In the application of the Berlin baths companies (for iOS and Android) you can find information about bathroom equipment, opening times, ticket prices and contact information. But the whole thing is also available online through the browser.
