Our swim­ming pool reg­u­la­tions

Dear Guests,

You would like to recuperate and relax in our city! In order to be able to offer you a first-class service, however, we ask for your understanding for some important instructions that you should also take note of in your own interest!

When entering the swimming pool facilities, visitors automatically subject themselves to the swimming pool regulations. The instructions of the staff must be followed.
