Leipzig's open-air baths pour €80,000 into renovation projects.
Let's Dive into Leipzig's Swimming Season!
Summer's sizzling close by, and Leipzig's public baths are gearing up for the splash! Kick-off was on Friday, as announced by the sports baths. Preparations for the outdoors have been in high gear recently.
The pools and surrounding areas have been given a thorough clean, and a whopping 80,000 euros has been spent on updates. The Schreber bath's paving has been fixed, the Ostbad flaunts new sun loungers, the Schönfeld bath's pool has had a revamp, and the Lindenthal eco-bath has scored a snazzy sun sail.
The Robbe children's outdoor pool—which closed for a year's refurb—is set to reopen in June. Sports bath manager, Martin Grafe, has his fingers crossed for a June debut!
Buckle Up for Higher Prices and a Lifeguard Hunt!
Looks like swimming isn't only getting warmer; it's getting pricier too! This year, expect to shell out 50 cents more for adults and reduced-price holders. Leipzig Pass holders will fork out an extra 30 cents.
Sixty seasonal workers are onboard to support the permanent staff. However, guards on duty, there's a crunch. Outdoor baths open to visitors from Saturday.

To get the lowdown on open dates, enhancements, and pricing, head over to the official Stadt Leipzig website or reach out to your nearest Freibad directly. Water-related activities like canal tours and bike rentals are also on offer, but ensure you're booking the right attraction!
