Public Natural Pool: “Felsenbad Pottenstein”

Due to its crumbling building substance and poor water quality the Mountain Lake Pottenstein, which had opened in 1926, had to be shut down in 1988. The premises were closed and the architectural jewel was left to fall into further disrepair. Over the years the community considered various ideas for the use of the former spa, but the costs for restoration were astronomically high and not financially viable for the community. However, after viewing some Natural Pools it became clear that a Natural Pool was the perfect solution.
