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.
Picture it. A series of pools anchored out in the middle of Berlin's Spree river. Sounds hot? Well its warm actually, a comfortable 24 degrees celsius for one in particular. The other pool is freezing cold and punters are encouraged to experience the adrenalin rush of jumping from the extreme heat to the cold. The ex river cargo container is 32.5 meters long by 8.2 meters wide and two meters deep. Surrounding areas include a sandy deck and bar area, a dance floor as well as a spa which is scheduled to ward off the winter chill. The idea was to allow people to swim in style whilst maintaining the feeling that they are still in the river itself.
