Naturfreibad Haunstetten, Natural water park in Haunstetten, Germany
Naturfreibad Haunstetten is a public outdoor swimming facility in Augsburg with around 10,500 square meters of water and surrounding grounds. A bathing island, sandy beach areas, and marked swimming zones provide different options for visitors, while mature trees shade the expansive lawn spaces.
The facility opened as a public swimming site in 1960, becoming an important leisure destination for the city. Since 2011, a dedicated association has managed its operations and maintenance.
The facility takes its name from the Haunstetten district and serves as a gathering place where locals spend warm months swimming and relaxing together. Families and friends return here year after year, making it part of the summer routine for many who live nearby.
The facility is best visited during daylight hours when sun warms the water and grass areas. There is plenty of space to lie and sit, but on hot weekends it can become crowded, so arriving earlier in the day works well.
The water is kept natural and chlorine-free through a monthly quality testing program to maintain high safety standards. This approach makes swimming here more enjoyable for many people compared to traditional chlorinated pools.
