Eco-bath in Rechenberg-Bienenmühle
It is the time of mining in the Ore Mountains. Rafting has been part of the region's mining history since 1659. In Rechenberg, close to the riverbed of the Mulde (today opposite Muldentalstraße 8), rafting ponds are created. There are not so many summer days and they are not quite so hot at almost 600 m above sea level, but these days do exist and the inhabitants of the valley can cool off in the ponds. In 1934, the ponds became a bathing establishment. A conversion in 1954 turned it into a public outdoor pool. A further conversion in 2003 created the eco-bath. Plants, bacteria and amphibians take over the natural water purification. The water is kind to the skin, good for children and allergy sufferers.
