Chemnitz outdoor pools with good visitor response in July
The current weather conditions with the heat and dryness have brought an increase in visitors to Chemnitz's outdoor pools in July. With a total of 87,493 visitors (as of 31 July 2018) who have flocked to the four municipal outdoor pools so far in the 2018 outdoor pool season, the result is close to that of the entire 2017 outdoor pool season. Last year, a total of 89,132 visitors came.
"If it continues to be this hot over the next few days, last year's result could be equalled by the weekend," says Mayor Sven Schulze.
In July alone, a total of 59,138 bathers came, more than twice as many as in the previous weeks (28,355 visitors, as at 30 June 2018).
The outdoor pools in Wittgensdorf, Bernsdorf and Einsiedel will remain open until at least 26 August. The Gablenz outdoor pool will even be open a week longer until 2 September. In recent years, the outdoor pool season has always been extended. And perhaps the absolute peak figure of 2015 with 137,000 bathers will then be within reach.
