Pools and Facilities
A four-seasons pool is open year-round and kept at a comfortable temperature. In summer, an outdoor pool is added to the mix. Children are catered for with a paddling pool and a learner pool; a water slide rounds off the offering. The fitness area goes by the name Rochusfit.
Sauna, Massages, and Dining
The sauna area offers massages and beauty treatments provided by an external partner – including classic massage, wellness relaxation massage with aromatic oil, and Ayurvedic massage. The on-site restaurant (EfBa) is open from 12:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during NRW school holidays; in warm summer weather, hours extend to 10:00–20:00. Outside of the summer holidays, vending machine refreshments are available.
Accessibility
The facility has been designed with accessibility in mind and offers step-free entry throughout. A mobile pool hoist can be used both in the indoor and outdoor pool areas. No advance booking is required for visitors using a wheelchair; however, a preliminary visit is recommended, as needs can vary depending on the nature of the disability. If a companion is listed in a visitor's disability pass, they should be brought along.
