Berlin's funkiest bathing destination is well worth taking a look at. The pool is located in the hull of a container ship in the Spree River. Inside the boat you'll find a bar and café, both of which have opening times that coincide the pool access hours. If you're not a good swimmer, you might want to bring your blow-up fins -- the 325 square meter heated pool is over two meters deep.
Implications - The pools are anchored right at the center of Berlin's Spree river. One of the pools is kept warm while the other is freezing cold. Swimmers are encouraged to go from one to the other, specifically for the adrenalin rush.
