Opening of the outdoor pool season with restrictions
Swimming fans will have the chance to take a dip in the Oberrabenstein reservoir from Friday 15 May. The Gablenz and Wittgensdorf outdoor pools will open on 30 May. The Einsiedeln outdoor pool will then follow on 6 June once the technical repairs have been completed.
The current regulations of the Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance also apply to outdoor pools. This means that pools may only be operated on the basis of hygiene protection concepts that have been confirmed by the health authority. Visitors to the pools must therefore expect restrictions this year.
For example, the number of visitors will be limited by recording them at the pool entrances or certain distancing rules will be imposed within the common areas or the pool kiosks.
In addition, season tickets will not be sold during the upcoming outdoor pool season, as access to the pool cannot be guaranteed on an ongoing basis.
The hire of items such as sunbeds and sports equipment will also be suspended this year to protect against infection.
