Welcome to the Waldbad Salzhausen

Season opens on May 1, 2026

The Waldbad Salzhausen features a large multi-purpose pool with a total water surface area of 1,165 m². It is divided into non-swimmer, swimmer, and diving areas. The water is heated to 24°C by a biogas plant.

The non-swimmer area covers about half of the water surface and features three integrated 25-meter teaching lanes, a large staircase for entering the pool, as well as a neck shower, a waterfall, and three massage jets. In the adjacent swimmers’ area, our guests have access to four 50-meter and two 25-meter lanes.




The diving area features a one-meter and a three-meter diving board, as well as a five-meter platform. Another highlight for young and old alike is the water climbing structure, which was donated by the “Die Waldbadförderer” support association. 

The toddler area has a two-part pool. These are connected by a small slide and have water depths ranging from 0 to 50 centimeters. A huge umbrella provides plenty of shade for the little ones.

Whether you’d like to take advantage of one of the many activities  such as aqua-running or aqua-fitness, or simply want to enjoy a lovely day with your family at the outdoor pool, the Waldbad team is here for you.

On the approximately 8,000 m² sunbathing lawn, you’ll always find a cozy spot to soak up the sun and relax. For active fun and burning off some energy  table tennis tables, our children’s playground, and a slackline are available in the pool area. 

To satisfy your appetite, the kiosk offers a selection of hearty meals and cold drinks, as well as ice cream and other treats.
