LAGO, Water park in Herne, Germany
LAGO is a water park in Herne offering diverse pools for various water activities. The facility includes wave pools, outdoor basins, and salt water pools with varying mineral concentrations for therapeutic benefits.
The facility opened in 1970 as part of Gysenbergpark, becoming the first recreational water park of its kind in the Ruhr region. This project shaped how the area would develop modern leisure offerings.
The sauna area draws from different bathing traditions, with Finnish saunas and specialized thermal zones offering varied experiences. Visitors move between different temperature areas and soak in each one's particular character.
The park is accessible on most days with extended hours on weekends. Visitors should check ahead as certain areas have specific usage rules or reserved times.
A Caribbean-themed pool area complements the therapeutic salt water basins, creating a playful contrast to the relaxing sauna culture. This mix of fun and healing elements sets this park apart from typical water facilities.
