More adventure pools in the region

Around Schmallenberg and Eslohe there are other very beautiful leisure and adventure pools that invite you to a family swimming day or a wellness day. We have a few recommendations for you:


Active on the road

Taster courses & special sports bookable online

Disc golf

Trend sport in the fresh air. Test your skill and accuracy with a game of disc golf in Bad Fredeburg.


Disc golf

Bad Fredeburg

This combination of golf and frisbee is simply great fun. The aim is to throw a frisbee disc into the target basket with as few throws as possible. A total of 18 baskets, i.e. 18 lanes, are available for this, embedded in the beautiful landscape at the spa gardens Schmiedinghausen in Bad Fredeburg. Skill and aim are required for this trendy sport for the whole family.

To the disc golf course...


Mini golf

Family fun for young and old

The goal is quickly explained: to sink the ball into the hole with as few strokes as possible. The path, or rather the course, is sometimes somewhat treacherous - depending on which obstacles are built in. Skill and a good eye are required here. After the tee shot, you can continue playing where the ball stops. But only if the obstacle has already been overcome; otherwise it's back to square one: All back to square one. The number of strokes required is recorded, whereby each player has a total of six attempts (then seven penalty points are recorded). Simple rules for a very varied and enjoyable family game. With the Schmallenberger Sauerland Card, the entrance fee to all mini golf courses is reduced!

Fit & Active

Why not use your vacation for a comprehensive fitness and activity program?


Fit & Active

An active vacation can also be very relaxing - especially as a balance to the sedentary activities we do every day. Use the free time to try out new active sports and take the good experiences home with you as a souvenir. Perhaps one or two sports will become your personal favorites.

A lot is written and reported about health - physical, mental and emotional well-being. What is healthy, what makes you healthy, how do you stay healthy? Theory and practice can diverge widely on this topic and yet they are so close together. Why is that? Health is defined very differently from person to person.
Every person is different.
