Naturbad Leipzig-Südwest

Naturbad Leipzig-Südwest is a swimming facility on about 4.4 hectares with naturally filtered water, sunbathing lawns, and open spaces for relaxation. Visitors can find different areas for sunbathing, swimming, and spending time outdoors.

The site began as a gravel quarry in the 1960s that naturally filled with groundwater. In 1970 it was transformed into a public swimming facility.

The place draws visitors from across the city who gather to swim and enjoy outdoor time together. It shows how the city brings nature and urban life together.

The water is regularly tested for quality and the site has changing rooms, restrooms, and designated family areas. The grounds are easy to navigate and well-equipped for longer stays.

A climate forest was planted at the northern end in 2010 to help reduce carbon dioxide in the surrounding area. This planting shows how the site combines recreation with environmental improvement.
