Ishara
Ishara is a large indoor water facility in central Bielefeld offering pools and relaxation areas. It features a 25-meter sport pool with six lanes, smaller heated pools at varying temperatures, water slides of different sizes, a dedicated children's area with toys and shallow water, sauna and steam bath facilities, and relaxation zones with massage beds and bubbling water features.
Ishara grew from a simple bathhouse into a large water and wellness complex through several renovations. A major recent upgrade expanded and modernized the facilities, particularly in the sauna area and relaxation zones.
The name Ishara reflects a focus on water and wellness that shapes how people use the space. Visitors come here to spend time with family and friends, enjoying the warm pools together and taking a break from daily life.
The facility is easy to reach by bus or train, located near Europaplatz in the city center, with parking options nearby. Visitors should note that opening hours vary and special water programs and events occur regularly, so checking the schedule beforehand is helpful.
The Black-Hole slide stands out as a special feature that spirals and twists as you ride down. Another highlight is the special evening events with music and light effects that turn swimming into a memorable experience.
