Pure Refreshment

Swimming in Dornbirn & Bregenz

The region around Wolfurt surprises visitors with a diverse range of swimming options that offer something for everyone: swimming and relaxing right on Lake Constance, a modern lakeside resort in the heart of Bregenz, and natural swimming spots on the Old Rhine, all within easy reach. 

Wolfurt is right in the middle of it all, making the Sternen Hotel the ideal starting point for a refreshing day by the water, whether with family, as a couple, or on a solo adventure.

Waldbad Enz

Bregenz Outdoor and Indoor Swimming Pools

Really unwind and escape the hustle and bustle! No problem at the Bregenz Beach Bath. The spacious facility offers plenty of room. The quiet and relaxation areas, in particular, guarantee a peaceful retreat. 

When it’s raining or snowing, the indoor pool invites you to swim and splash around in a warm and cheerful atmosphere. The sheltered children’s area with a slide and wading pool is a wonderful playground for all the little ones. A 25-meter swimming pool is available for athletes. Less experienced swimmers can enjoy themselves in the non-swimmer pool.

Pipeline in Bregenz am Bodensee

Natural Swimming Spots on Lake Constance

If you like things to be simple, the shores of Lake Constance are the perfect place for you. Between Bregenz and Lochau, several freely accessible swimming spots invite you to take a spontaneous dip: the “Pipeline” with its swimming pier, Wocherhafen with its shady gravel beach and sunbathing lawn, or the beaches around the sailing and yacht marina. The water in Lake Constance is of excellent quality in the summer and warms up to 26 degrees—no wonder these spots are so popular with locals.

Out of the water, onto the bike

In Vorarlberg, the region’s most beautiful swimming spots and the most popular bike routes are often right next to each other—the Rhine Valley and the Lake Constance promenade are among the most popular recreational corridors in the entire country. After a refreshing day of swimming on the lakefront or along the Pipeline, a bike ride is well worth it: whether you choose a leisurely ride along the Lake Constance Bike Path, around the lake, or through the green Rhine Valley.
