General
Krapfenwaldbad is considered one of the most beautiful pools in Vienna. Undoubtedly, a significant factor in Krapfenwaldbad’s popularity lies in its location – nestled in a picturesque pine forest, from which it also derives its name. The proximity to the forest offers visitors the advantage of numerous shaded spots, promising a refreshing and cool respite on hot summer days.
The highest-altitude swimming pool in Vienna covers an impressive area of around 40,000 square meters and provides ample space for approximately 4,500 bathers. Similar to Schafbergbad, the grounds of Krapfenwaldbad offer a breathtaking view of the city of Vienna due to its elevated position.
In July 2023, the pool celebrated its 100th anniversary! By the way, Krapfenwaldbad was the first Viennese summer pool to allow topless bathing for women.
For sun worshippers, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the general pool as well as the sports pool and bask in the warm rays.
Within the forested area, you’ll find numerous appealing play equipment surrounding a spacious playground, including popular classics like slides and sandboxes. The two children’s pools are located right next to the play area, ensuring that the little bathers are always in sight.
