Fun for young and old

Off to the pool

Fun in the water for young and old is offered in the outdoor pools of southern Styria. Equipped with slides and adventure pools for the young and wild, children's pools and playgrounds for the little ones, sports pools for enthusiastic long-distance swimmers and leisurely fun by the poolside, here and there a casual game of beach volleyball or rather a round of table tennis.

Minigolf is also more than entertaining when your fingers are already wrinkled from all the swimming and you need to get out of the pool. And in between all the hustle and bustle and splashing around, you can also switch off, make yourself comfortable on the spacious sunbathing lawns, let the holiday feeling take effect on you and completely surrender to the summer in southern Styria.
