Bad news for all bathing fans in Nandlstadt: Actually, the idyllic forest pool should have reopened this year.

But nothing will come of it.

Nandlstadt

– Unreasonable bathers, delivery problems with building materials and vandalism are currently making construction work at the Nandlstadt forest pool more difficult.

And that has consequences: The official opening will not take place this year, as mayor Gerhard Betz had hoped and planned, but only next year.

This summer it is important for everyone to be patient and to comply with the now tightened regulations.

After extensive renovation work, water was let back into the Nandlstadt forest pool just over a week ago - the natural pool was filled after around six days.

Although the entire area is still a major construction site, the first bathers were not long in coming;

the turquoise water obviously invited a few impatient people to take their first dip - despite the prohibition signs.

The problem: "The pump system is not running yet," reported the mayor when asked by FT.

In the future, the water will be cleaned using a sensitive ecological filter system.

On the one hand, this is not yet in operation, and on the other hand, the pool as such has not yet been "accepted" by the health department.

In addition, the site is still a construction site, which poses a great risk of injury.

Impatient people cause delays with thoughtless actions

And it gets even worse: Betz himself caught a few visitors walking over the new wet filter system planted with flowers and lying down on the wooden walkways there.

"Such actions pull us backwards - it costs us days," the town hall chief said angrily.

Dreamlike idyll: the natural pool was filled with water again.

But "bathing is still forbidden".

Although access to the entire Waldbad area is forbidden, people still cavort there - regardless of the freshly sown lawn on the sunbathing area, the paving work currently in progress and construction vehicles standing around.

On the contrary: there was another vandalism incident: As in October last year, the window of a construction vehicle was smashed again.

"That costs time and money - and is very annoying," emphasizes Gerhard Betz.

"The vandalism was a setback."

Mayor appeals: "Please be patient!"

A good week ago, the forest pool area was cordoned off with a construction fence.

In addition, Betz made an urgent appeal to the population: "Please be patient!

You get a great pool, a paradise, but first the work has to be done." Because they were late, not least because of delivery problems, for example for the children's area, one thing is already certain: "The official opening of the forest pool is definitely not yet be possible next year!

If the work continues to progress well, we may be able to release the bathroom for a short time this year.

But this definitely only if the existing rules are finally observed," as can be read on the community's Facebook page.

The community is making an urgent appeal to the citizens: Access to the entire forest pool area is prohibited.

Bathing is strictly forbidden.

And: The forest pool is intended exclusively for people.

Animals have absolutely no place in the water - it's not a bathing pond.

Violations will be “strictly prosecuted”

However, the municipality emphasizes: “We will expressly and strictly pursue violations of the ban on entering the site!

Anyone who violates this will be reported by us for trespassing.” Finally, Betz emphasizes: “We are doing everything we can to ensure that the forest pool becomes a place of joy and relaxation again – for young and old. So please accept that the site is up to an official release is blocked."

Two outdoor pools in the immediate vicinity will also remain closed this season: The 40-year-old outdoor pool in Tegernbach is currently being renovated and will not be open again until next year at the earliest.

Swimming fun is also left out in the Gammelsdorf outdoor pool this year: the health department found such serious defects during an inspection last year that the pool cannot be opened.

Now it is being renovated.
