Tips from the Community
I can currently, in 2026, just like before @Randi S and then literally Kurt H on Google, only agree. "50m pool, diving tower, non-swimmers, mineral water, etc./etc., friendly staff, so far the best outdoor pool in the three-country corner of Hesse/Lower Saxony/Thuringia. 😉 🏊 However, for the future, there are considerable doubts due to the new cash register system. It is to be feared that visitor numbers will still or continue to decline. Therefore, from now on only 3 stars. Municipal swimming pools belong as social facilities to participation and as such to the provision of basic needs. This has nothing to do with left-wing positions. Simple constitutional law. Whoever denies this, like the local press apparently, is alien to social reality. Access to - as here - public swimming pools must not be made difficult, hindered, or completely impossible in this respect, and we must all contribute to ensuring that they are not closed. 🏊🖐️Only if nobody goes anymore? 🤔..."

2026, Witzenhäuser Freibad abolishes cash. My absolute favorite destination in Witzenhausen so far and the best outdoor pool far and wide. 🖐️🏊🩳🛟🥽😎 After 5 stars so far, but only 3 for now due to the new discriminatory checkout system from 2026. Municipal facilities, to which the Witzenhausen outdoor pool belongs, can of course also provide cashless access; this is also advocated by me. Legally, they are and remain, ignoring social reality and also knowingly denied by the local press, within the framework of participation still obliged to guarantee access with cash as well. Independently of an already changed leisure behavior with fewer and fewer swimming pool visitors (unless the outside temperature is between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius), are there not already enough non-swimmers? Do there have to be more and more? 🤔

I'm getting kicked by the Goethe elephant. 👎 You can see it as a skeleton in the Ottoneum in Kassel. This is Jacob Grimm. 😒 (Thank goodness Komoot has changed it back. But again, this is not Johann Wolfgang)

The Haase Garden Café is somewhat hidden away. The entrance is located inside the Haase store, which is actually a household goods store. In the back is the indoor café and the beautiful garden with seating. You can also purchase all sorts of antiques and garden items.

The mighty Town Church of Our Lady has been the Protestant church of the town of Witzenhausen since the Reformation. It consists primarily of Romanesque and Gothic elements dating back to the 13th century. Among the impressive features inside is the imposing tomb of the Baronial von Bodenhausen family. I found the church open through the beautiful south portal.
