Großsander Recreation Area

A beautiful swimming lake, overcrowded during the holiday season. It's better to visit before or after, then you can have a good rest there.

Hasselt Water Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Water Park
In 2001, after intensive planning, we were able to open our water park directly at the Hasselt waterworks. In a 7,000 m2 large, naturally designed area, we offer you an overview of the history and technology of water supply.
From the old peat well to a modern water treatment plant, you can see many models; Display boards explain the exhibits. You can try out for yourself how difficult it was to draw water back then at the historic fountain.
Our various systems for water collection, water treatment and water distribution illustrate the simplification that technology brings us today and the effort behind the central water supply.
Understanding also means touching and doing, which is why we have installed some playful elements for dealing with the water.
The water park - an experience for the senses. And when you get home, remember that.

Königssee Astederfeld Swimming is unsupervised in the well-maintained outdoor pool at the "Haus am See" restaurant on Tarbarger Landstrasse in Astederfeld near Neuenburg. For this reason, entry is free. The large lake with a white sandy beach and a large lawn, surrounded by lots of greenery, invites you to swim, bathe and relax in summer. Children have enough space to frolic in the spacious area of the shallow water at the front. A toilet block is available for day visitors. At this large, former quarry lake there is a recreational area with over 60 comfortable pitches for caravans. All pitches are equipped with sewer, electricity and water connections. Guests also benefit from a comfortably equipped, heated sanitary building with toilets, showers, washing machine and a baby changing room.
