Mineral water. Mountain backdrop. Your lake.
Ritzensee is no ordinary swimming lake. The mineral-rich water warms up quickly, the sunbathing lawns are spacious, and the Steinernes Meer provides the backdrop. For children there's a separate pool with slide and playground. For those hungry afterwards: the Seerestaurant Ritzen serves regional cuisine right on the shore.
Come in the afternoon when the sun sets behind the mountains. Then the lake becomes a stage. And: the path around the lake (2.2 km, about 36 min.) is perfect for a post-restaurant stroll.
Open only in good weather. Free entry with Saalfelden Leogang Card.
5 minutes by car
1,700 m² of water. Action included.
The Obsmarkt adventure pool is located on the outskirts of Saalfelden and offers everything a hot summer day needs across 1,700 m² of water. A 50-metre sports pool for the ambitious, giant slide and current channel for the adventurous, massage jets for the relaxed. Solar heated – pleasant even on cloudier days.
Mornings are quieter. Ideal for lap swimmers who really want to use the 50 m pool.
