Lower Saxony celebrates: The best outdoor pools of summer 2025 revealed!
The summer special in Lower Saxony's outdoor pools
The summer of 2025 in Lower Saxony will not only bring hot weather, but also exciting news for all bathing enthusiasts. A current outdoor pool ranking from Fit Reisen presents the best outdoor pools in Germany, and Lower Saxony is impressive. With three cities in the top 5, the state shows how it is possible to offer the best bathing fun.
Top placements in Lower Saxony
The big surprise is the Grone natural adventure pool in Göttingen, which takes 7th place in the overall ranking with a solid rating of 4.6 out of 5 points. But that's not all! With the same 4.6 points, the Waggum outdoor swimming pool in Braunschweig also shows that it holds its own in an excellent competition. These rankings are not just pulled out of a hat, but are based on over 300,000 Google Maps reviews of 299 outdoor pools in 79 major German cities, such as presseportal.de is reported.
The other open-air swimming pools in Lower Saxony are also listed in the ranking:
- Freibad Fallersleben in Wolfsburg – Rang 21
- Freibad Raffteich in Braunschweig – Rang 23
- Freibad Almke in Wolfsburg – Rang 28
- VW-Bad in Wolfsburg – Rang 53
- Freibad Brauweg in Göttingen – Rang 54
Particularly worth mentioning is the average rating of Braunschweig, which has the best of the outdoor swimming pools with 4.5 points. Wolfsburg takes third place with an average rating of 4.46 points, while Göttingen comes in fifth place with 4.38 points and four outdoor swimming pools.
The front runners at the federal level
Of course, Lower Saxony doesn't have the Monopoly for the best places. At the top of the outdoor pool ranking is the Zschonergrundbad in Dresden with an outstanding average rating of 4.7 from 444 reviews. Bielefeld and Karlsruhe also shine with their outdoor pools and take second and third place. Munich and Nuremberg are in fourth and fifth place, doing well with 4.6 points, see hna.de.
The ranking methodology is equally remarkable. Only outdoor pools with at least 100 reviews were taken into account, while beaches and natural waters without permanent facilities were left out. Another point that speaks for the transparency of the ranking is that some cities such as Gütersloh and Hildesheim were no longer taken into account in 2025 because they have lost their status as large cities.
Conclusion: Cheers to swimming culture
The results are not only good news for operators and cities, but also for everyone who loves the cool water. It turns out that the bathing season can be enjoyed to the fullest in Lower Saxony. The top-rated outdoor pools take swimming culture in the region to a new level. If that's not a reason to pack your bathing suits and visit the outdoor pools!
