About
Vahrenwalder Bad is a municipal indoor pool in Hannover at Vahrenwalder Straße 100. After extensive modernisation it offers, according to the operator, a bright swimming hall that keeps its 1980s architecture, a 25 × 12.5 m swimming pool, a non-swimmer pool with a slide and a separate paddling area for the little ones.
It includes a small Finnish sauna with plunge pools indoors and outdoors, an ice machine and a rest area. The operator says the complex is step-free, and those who come by car will find free parking at the baths.
