Dietzhausen outdoor pool opens with a surprising first bather: a newt!
On Saturday, June 22, 2025, the Dietzhausen outdoor pool opened its doors in a festive atmosphere. And that with a special event: The first bather was none other than a newt, which belongs to the genus of tailed amphibians. The water in the swimming pool was at a pleasant temperature that day, at 20 degrees Celsius, and perfect for the start of the outdoor pool season.
Six friends from Dietzhausen, namely Alexander, Anton, Finn, Tamme, Paul and Theo, were already well prepared. You've treated yourself to a season ticket to spend the hottest summer days in the water. They started their outdoor pool season with splashy ass bombs that literally catapulted them into the water.
Special devotion to the newt
The mood was exuberant, but the kids also showed a great sense of responsibility. As soon as the newt found its way into the water, the boys took care of the animal. They created a shady, damp spot for him outside the outdoor pool area to ensure he didn't lack for anything.
Attractions and offers at the outdoor pool
