The Höxter-Godelheim leisure centre offers swimming fun, games and relaxation for the whole family. The freely accessible bathing lake is located directly on the Weser cycle path not far from Höxter town centre. The best conditions for a short family outing or a saddle break for touring cyclists.
A fine sandy beach with a shallow shore area stretches around the entire bathing bay. Children in particular love the shallow ford between the island and the beach. Easily visible to parents, the little ones can trudge through the shallow water to their heart's content, build castles and create moats. Buckets and shovels are just as much a part of the swimming bag as water wings, but you don't have to be a water rat to have lots of fun at the leisure centre. You can also enjoy the well-kept and extensive grounds in a relaxed atmosphere on the lakeside terrace of the "Strandgut" beach bar or in a rubber dinghy on the pond. Numerous playgrounds and sports facilities such as boules, beach volleyball, skate park, pump track and much more.
The water quality and your safety are very important to us: an information board at the sanitary facilities in the main building and the two large flagpoles in the beach area will keep you informed on a daily basis. When the green flag is flying, nothing stands in the way of bathing fun. When the blue flag is flying, we recommend that small children and weakened persons do not go into the water and when the yellow flag is flying, we generally advise against swimming

What about the water quality?

Is there blue-green algae in the bathing lake?
Blue-green algae occur naturally in the water. Most species are harmless to humans, but some can form toxins and have an impact on health. High temperatures and plenty of sunshine are ideal conditions for the growth of algae. Blue-green algae can then also multiply to an undesirable extent. High concentrations of blue-green algae can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation in humans, as well as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting if swallowed. Small children and sensitive people in particular should therefore avoid contact with blue-green algae.
If we detect blue-green algae in the water, we will inform you immediately.
