Eichmühle natural outdoor pool - a healthy way to cool off

The historic "Eichmühle" outdoor pool in Tölz has been captivating visitors for almost 100 years with its particularly natural charm and great family friendliness. The 1.5 h moor water area of the "Oach", as it is affectionately called by locals, nestles silky-dark on the edge of the "Ellbacher Moor" nature reserve. Tölz's youngsters have been learning to swim here for generations, while teenagers like to meet up after school to play beach volleyball or soccer on the south-west meadow. Those seeking relaxation can relax comfortably on the firm wooden loungers under shady trees near the kiosk and changing rooms. A shady beer garden also invites you to linger. Mia seng uns in da Oach!

While wonderful celestial bodies spread out above the heads of the visitors, the world of the firmament fascinates with unimagined luminous phenomena - every visit here is an experience.
