Wittgensdorf outdoor pool temporarily closed

Due to damage caused by yesterday's storm, the Wittgensdorf outdoor pool will remain closed until Thursday 8 August. The pool has been badly damaged. The swimming and paddling pool is completely soiled with leaves, branches and mud and the sunbathing lawns are littered with leaves and branches. Two trees were felled by lightning strikes. Windows were smashed in one building.

We ask for your understanding that the outdoor pool must remain closed until it has been completely cleaned and cleared. Swimmers are asked to use the outdoor pools in Gablenz and Bernsdorf for the time being.
