Wir wollen baden! Ein Wasserguide für die Region Stuttgart

From the publisher (translated):

This water guide is a handy companion for getting into cool waters on hot days. Even in the Stuttgart metropolitan area, temperatures are rising. At the same time, Stuttgart and the surrounding region aren’t exactly known for nearby lakes for swimming. That’s why we went searching for you—and we found them: from river swimming spots to hidden waterfalls and refreshing forest baths, here are the islands for cooling off.

On 14 tours through the region, we give you insights into the many ways to swim and cool down, sprinkled with information and facts about the waters, because water is much more than just fun in the pool: it’s our drinking water, wastewater, a habitat for flora and fauna, and even a means of transport. Easily accessible by public transport, the tours invite you to stroll, walk, hike, cycle, or paddle—alone or with friends and family.

And the best part: each tour comes with a postcard as a keepsake, to send, or to share, featuring scenes from your swimming adventure.
