Geothermal indoor swimming pool with outdoor hot tubs, dating back to 1943. Coming here is like stepping back in time and the interiors have been used in indie music videos. On weekdays you might run into children having swimming lessons or possibly just having the entire place to yourself! The outdoor area is best on cold, dark winter evenings. I promise you will not be cold.
