Koupaliště Divoká Šárka
Koupaliště Divoká Šárka in Prague may be further from the city centre, but it offers visitors first-class tranquillity in nature and an atmosphere reminiscent of the First Republic. It is situated in the romantic Šárecké údolí valley with its dramatic rock formations, a popular destination for lovers of fresh air and sports activities. Due to its location, the swimming pool complex can only be reached on foot. However, there is no need to worry about missing it on your way, as the red tourist markers leading along the Šárecký potok stream will guide you directly there.
The history of the Šárecké koupaliště dates back to the 1930s, when it was built on the site of an older pond. Interestingly, the swimming pool has been owned by the same family since its founding, with a primary focus on preserving the period atmosphere and providing high-quality services to visitors. The Veselík family's tradition was briefly interrupted by nationalisation, but after the fall of the regime, the situation returned to its original course. It is also said that this swimming pool has the coldest water in Prague. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the water flows into the pool from surrounding springs. However, this is also what guarantees its perfect cleanliness.
Even though the swimming pool has retained its original character, visitors have plenty to look forward to. Two swimming pools and a paddling pool for the little ones are available. There is also a toboggan for adrenaline seekers. On land, you will find climbing frames, swings, slides, and other attractions, which you will appreciate when visiting with your family. Adults will certainly not refuse a match of table tennis, foot tennis, or volleyball. Lockable changing cabins and refreshments are a matter of course, which will certainly come in handy after a day in the water.
Does the idea of peaceful lounging in beautiful nature appeal to you?

This trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre will definitely be worth it!
