Arpke Forest Bath - Visit Hannover

Outdoor pool

Waldbad Arpke

Waldbad Arpke

Small, family-friendly facility in the middle of a beautiful forest. A real alternative to the classic outdoor pool in hot temperatures.

A lovely little facility with a family-friendly atmosphere. Blankets, towels, drinks, books, and magazines are laid out on the lawn in the middle of the forest, among the trees and bushes. Swimming takes place in the pool, which is situated a bit higher up. It doesn’t bother anyone here that basketball nets hang along the edge of the pool—they’re very welcome among the many children. However, the hoops were originally installed for the athletes from TSV Arpke, who hold a major rough-and-tumble basketball tournament here once a year.
