- Due to the high temperatures, they decide to open the outdoor bathing zones for relaxing breaks.
It's getting steamy up north once more: Hamburg's bathing spots are gearing up for the upcoming heatwave by opening multiple public pools on their off days in the near future. "Bondenwald will open its doors on Tuesday, while Naturbad Stadtparksee and Marienhöhe will follow suit on Wednesday and Thursday," a representative shared. Additionally, Bondenwald will be open every Tuesday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, come rain or shine, until the conclusion of the swimming season. This implies the cancellation of rest days, though the hours will still be trimmed down.
The Hamburg pool administration had a slow and damp start to their summer, postponing the inauguration of their summer bathing spots and limiting their operational hours due to the chilly and stormy conditions. The swimming season officially commenced at Kaifubad middle of May, with other bathing spots joining in at the tail end of June.
Despite the chilly start to the summer, Bondenwald swimming pool will continue its sessions every Tuesday, rain or shine, until the end of the swimming season. Visitors looking for a swim during the heatwave might consider visiting Marienhöhe or Naturbad Stadtparksee, as they plan to open their swimming areas in the coming days.
