Naturfreibad Großer Woog

For many families in Darmstadt, the Großer Woog is much more than an outdoor swimming pool. With its natural spring-fed water, spacious lawns and shallow bathing areas, it is one of the city's favourite places to spend hot summer days.

Few places combine nature, swimming and relaxation as naturally as the Großer Woog. Young children enjoy the shallow bathing area, older kids head for the diving platform and parents relax beneath the mature trees. Unlike many traditional outdoor pools, the Großer Woog feels more like a natural swimming lake in the middle of the city. Generations of Darmstadt residents have learned to swim here, making it a true local landmark.
