The Waggum outdoor pool in Braunschweig also shows with the same 4.6 points that it asserts itself in an excellent competition.

At the head of the outdoor pool ranking, the Zschonerbundbad in Dresden is located with an outstanding average rating of 4.7 with 444 reviews. Bielefeld and Karlsruhe also shine with their outdoor pools and occupy places in two and three. Munich and Nuremberg are in places four.

The methodology of the ranking is also remarkable. Only outdoor pools with at least 100 reviews were taken into account, while beach baths and natural waters without solid equipment 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 lost their status as a big city.
