Günzburg and Burgau introduce a new combined ticket for both outdoor pools

Families can save a lot of money on visits to the Waldbad and Gsundbrunnenbad this summer.

Günzburg. This year, the two towns of Burgau and Günzburg are setting a joint example of family friendliness and regional cooperation: this summer, families can purchase an attractive, discounted combined ticket for the first time, which allows them to visit both outdoor pools in the region.

The Gsundbrunnenbad in Burgau and our Günzburger Waldbad offer many attractions for young and old. The two outdoor pools in the northern district are two of the most popular leisure facilities in the region in summer – with diving platforms, swimmers’, non-swimmers’ and children’s paddling pools, several slides, spacious sunbathing areas, playgrounds, table tennis tables, a large gastronomic offer and much more. Both outdoor pools will open in a few days: the Gsundbrunnenbad in Burgau on Saturday, May 10 and our Waldbad in Günzburg on Sunday, May 11.

The new combined ticket, which guarantees swimming fun in a double pack, is valid for parents and single parents with at least one child up to the age of 18. With this innovative offer, both cities want to promote leisure fun for families, further increase the attractiveness of the two outdoor pools and strengthen the community in the region.

“We are delighted to be working with Burgau to create an innovative offer that focuses on families. The new combined ticket is a great opportunity to explore our wonderful outdoor pools and have fun together,” says Günzburg’s Lord Mayor Gerhard Jauernig. Burgau’s mayor Martin Brenner agrees and continues: “For us, the focus is on promoting family life and strengthening the regional community. This project shows how we can create significant added value for our citizens through close inter-municipal cooperation.”

The new combined ticket is available at the ticket offices of both outdoor pools and is valid for the entire swimming season – online purchase is not possible. The new offer gives families the opportunity to visit both outdoor pools at a significantly reduced price. Instead of 189 euros for both family season tickets, the new combined ticket costs just 130 euros – a saving of more than 30 percent. “With the combined ticket, we want to offer families a simple, flexible and, above all, cost-effective way to discover our various outdoor pools and spend wonderful hours in the water together. I am convinced that this offer will inspire many families and help to make our region even more liveable,” says Lothar Böck, our Stadtwerke manager.

Burgau’s outdoor pool manager Sebastian Wagner is looking forward to many new visitors to the Gsundbrunnenbad and is already looking to the future: “The combined ticket is a first-time experiment that should not remain a one-day wonder. If the offer is well received, a continuation is planned.”

The Waldbad opens the swimming season on May 11.

The preparatory work is in full swing. Admission is now via the new access area.

In four weeks’ time, we will be opening the gates of the Waldbad to the many visitors once again. The swimming season starts this year on Sunday, May 11. A few things are new this year.

The most important change is right at the beginning: the forecourt has been redesigned. Gone are the days of the temporary entrance in front of the camper van site; admission is now via the new access area. The new sanitary facilities are also operational and can be used by all visitors. “Over the past few months, we have carried out extensive renovation and new construction work. I am delighted that these have now been completed and that our Waldbad can shine in new splendor,” says our Stadtwerke board member Lothar Böck.

Since last year, we have been offering the option of conveniently purchasing admission tickets before your visit via our online store and presenting them as a digital ticket at the ticket office. Of course, tickets can still be purchased on site at the ticket office in the Waldbad.

The technology and green areas are currently being brought up to scratch. The pools are being cleaned and will be filled with water next week. “The opening of our Waldbad is a special event every year and an important signal for the start of summer in Günzburg. Our outdoor pool is not only a place for recreation and sporting fun, but also an important meeting place for our citizens of all ages. I cordially invite everyone to visit our beautiful Waldbad, enjoy the sun and the cool water and have a great time with family and friends.”

The Waldbad will be open daily between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. this bathing season from May 11, weather permitting, and admission prices will remain at the same low level.

The entire Waldbad team is looking forward to welcoming lots of bathers!
