Erlebnisbad Stadt Wehlen

About

Freibad Stadt Wehlen is a summer open-air pool set in greenery on the edge of the Pötzscha district, with a view into the narrow Elbe valley between Pirna and Kurort Rathen. According to the operator the site covers about a hectare with roughly 800 m² of water, plus shaded and sunny sunbathing lawns and lockers in the changing area.

There is a 25 m sports pool with four starting blocks, a leisure pool with a current channel, jets and a waterfall, a large water slide and a separate children's paddling pool. Table tennis, a volleyball court, a play castle and a snack kiosk are also on site.
