    The beach is close until 22 of June. This was the information that the employee gave us when we went there yesterday

    One of the best places for a day out with the kids in Cologne. The weather needs to be right, but if you have that and have taken enough "stuff" then everyone will be happy. You can't beat swimming in "real" water. Even with a few sticks and weeds it will always beat a chlorinated pool. Like the hammocks!

    Naturbad Vingst is a artificial lake for the public, surrounded by trees and high bushes. Fine sandy beach, large non-swimmer area, two platforms in the middle of the lake for jumping. Clean restrooms, changing rooms, kiosk for ice cream, drinks and chips. Entrance fee is 5 EUR for adults (2023) and is valid for the whole day. That's ok. We like the outdoor pool to spend a hot summer day there.

    It’s a nice place. But unfortunately it can be a bit loud. They drive around a small John Deere lawnmower just to collect the rubbish. Also, beware that the public times state it is open until 19:00. However, they start calling everyone out of the water at 18:30. It seems like a sweet spot for bringing the family. I wouldn’t come again though, especially for the price.

    (Translated by Google) Everything done very nicely, but the kiosk has prices that should be banned It is always something expensive in the swimming pool everyone knows, but he overdoes it to such an extent that it is not normal Starts with coffee 2.50 small filter coffee ice cream overpriced eat overpriced That should be forbidden (Original) Alles sehr schön gemacht, aber der Kiosk hat Preise das sollte verboten werden Es ist immer was teuer im Schwimmbad das weiß jeder, aber der übertreibt es dermaßen das ist nicht normal Fängt beim Kaffee an 2,50 kleiner filterkaffee Eis überteuert essen überteuert Dem sollte man das verbieten

    (Translated by Google) Super outdoor pool in the middle of Cologne. For children great play possibilities. Clean toilets and changing clothes. Ashtrays are distributed at the entrance so that the tipping does not end up in the meadow. Staff is super friendly. You can also play table tennis there. Hammocks and umbrellas are also available. Great for relaxing. (Original) Super Freibad mitten in Köln. Für Kinder super Spielmöglichkeiten. Saubere Toiletten und Umkleiden. Am Eingang werden Aschenbecher verteilt damit die Kippen nicht auf der Wiese landen. Personal ist super freundliche. Tischtennis kann man dort auch spielen. Hängematten und Sonnenschirme gibt es auch. Toll zum entspannen.

    Just arrived here to discover it is closed (on a regular Sunday) with no warning on website or Google. Lots of disappointed guests outside. Please explain?

  • 4/5 Sandra B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super nice outdoor pool, area spacious and clean, playground top ... Umbrella and lounge chairs for hire. - Children who cannot swim are allowed to swim with a swimming aid and parents only in the non-swimmer area, which is accordingly full. (Original) Super schönes Freibad, Gelände weitläufig und sauber, Spielplatz Top...Schirm und Liegen Verleih. - Kinder welche nicht schwimmen können dürfen selbst mit Schwimm Hilfe und Eltern nur im den Nichtschwimmer Bereich, dieser ist entsprechend voll.

  • 1/5 Andre M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Despite Corona, the outdoor pool was overcrowded. The parking situation is miserable, the only possibility to park nearby is on the side of the road, where of course you get a parking ticket immediately. And the water quality isn't great either. (Original) Trotz Corona war das freibad überfüllt. Die Parkplatz Situation ist miserabel, die einzige Möglichkeit in der Nähe zu parken ist am Straßenrand wo man dann natürlich promt ein Knöllchen bekommt. Und die Wasserqualität ist auch nicht so toll.

  • 3/5 Valentina R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Large lawns, lots of shade under the trees, everything was great. Unfortunately, the parking lot situation is a disaster, and the city of Cologne earns a lot more money here with parking tickets 😬 (Original) Große Liegewiesen, viele Schattenplätze unter den Bäumen, alles prima. Leider ist die Parkplatzsituation eine Katastrophe, und die Stadt Köln verdient sich hier durch Knöllchen nochmal kräftig was dazu 😬

  • 3/5 Jessica S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I really liked it, my boys were a bit bored, because there was no diving tower or slide in the water, they are a bit older ... The prices at the kiosk were already heavy, therefore 3 stars. (Original) Mir hat es echt gut gefallen, meinen Jungs war es ein wenig zu langweilig, da kein Sprungturm oder Rutsche im Wasser war,sind halt schon was älter... Die Preise am Kiosk waren schon heftig, daher 3 Sterne.

  • 5/5 Tobias K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful here. Unlike in the outdoor pool, you can keep a sufficient distance here in the corona time and have a lot of space to swim. There are also lockers. (Original) Sehr schön hier. Anders als im Freibad kann man hier in der Coronazeit ausreichend Abstand halten und hat sehr viel Platz zum schwimmen. Schließfächer gibt es übrigens auch.

  • 2/5 Wall E X. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The bathroom itself is ok, but the parking lot is underground. If you can't get to the pool with the KVB or bike, you have to go very early. Because parking spaces are very thin here. The parking space on the market square is also full quickly. The only thing left is parking at the edge of the road, which in principle would not be a problem because there is enough space there and nobody is hindered. But you do the math without the city of Cologne. They hand out penalty tickets like camels in carnival. That is too lucrative for the city to let its citizens spend a nice day at the beach in peace. The special bill for the day is stuck under the windshield wiper :( (Original) Das Bad selber ist ja ok aber die Parkplatzsituation ist unterirdisch. Wer nicht mit der KVB oder dem Fahrrad zum Bad kommen kann muss sich sehr früh auf den Weg machen. Denn Parkplätze sind hier sehr dünn gesäht. Auch der Parkraum am Marktplatz ist schnell voll. Da bleibt nur das parken am Fahrbahnrand was im Grunde kein Problem darstellen würde da sich dort genug Platz befindet und niemand behindert wird. Aber da macht man die Rechnung ohne die Stadt Köln. Die verteilen Straftickets wie im Karneval Kamellen. Das ist für die Stadt zu lukrativ als das sie ihre Bürger in Ruhe einen schönen Badetag verleben lassen. Die Sonderrechnung für den Tag klemmt unter dem Scheibenwischer :(

  • 3/5 Björn R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful, small and manageable lake. Prices of the kiosk completely overpriced! Half full cup of white coffee € 3 !!! Therefore only 3 stars! (Original) Schöner, kleiner und überschaubarer See. Preise des Kiosk völlig überteuert! Halb volles Becherchen Milchkaffee 3€!!! Daher nur 3 Sterne!

  • 5/5 Kathrin H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Was there for the first time and was very enthusiastic. Holiday feeling at home. A nice little barbecue area on site. For the children there is not only the natural pool but also a nice playground. Price performance ratio is great. For a small surcharge, you can borrow a lounger on site. The physical well-being is provided on site with a kiosk where you can get ice cream, cool drinks or even french fries. But you can also take care of yourself completely and bring your own food and drink from home. (Original) War zum ersten mal da und war sehr begeistert. Urlaubsfeeling in der Heimat. Ein netter kleiner Grillplatz vor Ort. Für die Kinder gibt es nicht nur das Naturbad sondern auch einen schönen Spielplatz. Preisleistungsverhältnis ist Top. Gegen einen kleinen Aufpreis kann man sich vor Ort eine Liege ausleihen. Für das Leibliche Wohl ist vor Ort gesorgt mit einem Kiosk wo man sich zb Eis, Kühle Getränke oder auch mal ne Pommes holen kann. Man kann sich aber auch komplett selber versorgen und sich sein Essen und Trinken von daheim mitbringen.

Swimming pool
😠 This year I took part in a swimming course for adults at the Höhenbergbad indoor pool. Terrible human relationships. Terrible training. Demotivating. A job that is done as if I didn't pay for it. I tried to be persistent, but after a while my feet wouldn't walk anymore.
