Swimming and bathing in the Eifel
Water happiness in the Eifel
Water magically attracts us - as a quiet mirror of the landscape, as a rushing element full of movement or as a place of lightness that catapults us into a new attitude towards life with a single jump. In the Eifel, swimming has many faces: sometimes idyllic and close to nature, sometimes comfortable and full of energy - and always a real experience.
Glide through crystal-clear lake water in the early hours of the morning, let yourself drift with your offspring in the indoor pool or rediscover the child in you on one of the slides in the adventure pool.
Perhaps you remember the last jump from the jetty, the gentle drip from the tips of your hair, the quiet lingering of a summer's day in the lake - that's exactly what you'll find in the Eifel.
Here you will find a selection of the most beautiful swimming pools and bathing lakes.
