The Hohegeiß Forest Swimming Pool

The Hohegeiß Forest Swimming Pool is one of the most popular destinations in the climatic health resort of Hohegeiß. Surrounded by woods and the characteristic Harz countryside, the outdoor pool offers the perfect opportunity to cool off and relax on warm summer’s days.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Berghotel Hohegeiß, you’ll find a large swimming pool, a non-swimmers’ area, spacious sunbathing lawns and a kiosk selling snacks, ice cream and drinks, as well as a magnificent view of the surrounding woods.

Outdoor swimming fun in the Harz Mountains

The outdoor swimming pool offers ideal conditions for families, swimmers and those looking to relax. Whilst children play in the water, adults can soak up the sun on the sunbathing lawns and let their gaze wander over the Harz countryside.

The kiosk at the outdoor swimming pool also offers a range of light refreshments, including snacks, drinks and ice cream.

From the Hohegeiß Mountain Hotel to the outdoor swimming pool

From the Berghotel Hohegeiß, you can easily reach the forest swimming pool on foot in just a few minutes. On warm summer days in particular, the outdoor pool is a popular way to round off hikes, cycle rides and other leisure activities in the Harz Mountains.

Please feel free to ask us at reception for the most scenic route to the outdoor swimming pool or for further suggestions for days out in the local area.
