Swimming with a view: The Altenstein outdoor pool in the Haßberge Mountains
In Altenstein in the Haßberge district there is a special outdoor pool. From the terraces, visitors can enjoy a fantastic view as far as Bamberg. It is probably the highest public outdoor pool in Lower Franconia.


In the Altenstein outdoor pool, swimmers leisurely swim their laps in the 40-meter pool. In 1973, almost 50 years ago, the then independent municipality of Altenstein built the outdoor pool. There was not enough space for a 50-meter lane, and with 25 meters, those responsible were sure that they would be wasting far too much swimming space.

Nice trail, unfortunately there is sometimes a lot of wood in the way.

View of Hafenpreppach Pond

Highlight • Lake

Three lakes or ponds are located on the outskirts of Hafenpreppach. It's nice to see that one of them is developing into a biotope.
