- Outdoor pool
Turmbergbad
The Turmbergbad, built in 1907 in beautiful Durlach, is a popular outdoor pool with a wide range of facilities for young and old. It offers ideal conditions for sport, fun and relaxation for the whole family.
The outdoor pool in Durlach has a 50-metre swimming pool that is suitable for both athletic and recreational swimmers. A separate non-swimmers' pool enables safe swimming for beginners and children. The RedBlaxx competition slide with parallel slide tubes and the wave slide provide plenty of fun.
For the youngest guests, there is a paddling pool with a sun awning, a toddler pool and child-friendly attractions. The spacious sunbathing lawn invites you to sunbathe and relax, while a beach volleyball court and goals provide sporting activities. In addition to the children's playground, the pool has had a 260 metre long barefoot path since 2012.

Attractions
Barefoot path
Sharpen your sensory perception - have your foot reflex zones massaged! Since 2012, the over 260 metre long path has been providing pure barefoot pleasure! Can you recognise the different surfaces?
Paddling pool
For little pirates, the Turmbergbad offers a great children's paradise with an adventure paddling pool in the style of a pirate ship. A large awning provides the best protection from the sun's rays, and there are sanitary facilities in the immediate vicinity.
50 metre swimming pool
Of course, the Turmbergbad also offers a place for sports swimmers to keep fit. The large 50 metre competition pool offers swimmers ideal conditions, also because it is heated up to 26 degrees on colder days (no pool lifts).
Multi-purpose pool
Our multi-purpose pool is perfect for young and old. A fun family slide, a massage mushroom, various massage jets and chest showers ensure great bathing fun in summer temperatures (no pool lifts).
Red Blaxx
The new competition slide is an action-packed highlight for brave swimming pool fans! In separate, parallel slide tubes, two adrenaline junkies can compete against each other at the same time and show who has what it takes to be the champion. Children aged 8 and over can slide alone.
Children's playground
At the back of the pool, not far from the paddling pool or children's pool, a playground awaits the romping little ones. Mum and dad can keep an eye on everything from the sunbathing area while the kids play and have lots of fun.
