Water-based activities
Outdoor pool, indoor pool and sauna
Aschaffenburg’s outdoor pool is located right by the Main river, where the many large trees create plenty of shaded spots across the extensive lawns. The outdoor pool is open from May to September, while the indoor pool and sauna area next door offer fun and relaxation from September to April.
Boating
There is an idyllic lake in the centre of the historic Schönbusch Park landscape garden, where you can usually go rowing when the weather is nice. The Bavarian Palace Administration is currently working on a new development concept for the lake in Schönbusch Park. Visitors will therefore unfortunately not be able to use the popular boats for the time being.
From the Arche Noah boathouse at Flosshafen, you can explore a branch of the Main river in a pedalo.
