Discover Schladen: Outdoor swimming pool and Imperial Palace Werla

Schladen offers a range of ways to spend your stay: the outdoor swimming pool combines water and activity, while nearby Imperial Palace Werla puts archaeology and early medieval history in the spotlight. These two themes offer distinct ways to shape your travel plans. You can decide whether you’re mainly looking for a varied outdoor swimming pool experience or are interested in a historic site in an open landscape.

Water and activities at Schladen outdoor swimming pool

On the outskirts of Schladen, the outdoor swimming pool is next to a natural pond. Facilities include a heated non-swimmers’ pool, a parent-and-child area with three water depths, and water play features. There is also a 40-metre slide, mini golf, grass and beach volleyball courts, and a playground. The pool complex thus offers various options for activity and play. For families with children, the dedicated parent-and-child area is a useful point of reference; the playground is also part of the facilities.

The range of pools and activities gives the outdoor swimming pool more than one focus: water-based facilities sit alongside mini golf, volleyball, and play areas. When planning, you can weigh up which of these activities matter most to your stay. The pool is open seasonally. Before your visit, check its opening dates and which individual facilities will be available.

Imperial Palace Werla: history above the Oker

Nearby Imperial Palace Werla is located in the archaeological park on an undeveloped ridge above the Oker in Schladen-Werla. Its position above the river and the undeveloped landscape are as much a part of the site’s character as its archaeological significance. Werla offers a different way to experience Schladen than the outdoor swimming pool: the focus here is not on water-based leisure, but on a place with a long history and a striking connection to the landscape.

The royal palace flourished in the early Middle Ages, particularly in the 10th and 11th centuries. This historical context helps you see Werla not just as a name in your travel plans, but as a testament to a particular period. The archaeological park connects this historical significance with its location above the Oker. For travellers interested in history, the appeal lies in this combination of the early Middle Ages, an archaeological site, and an undeveloped setting.

Which side of Schladen is right for your trip?

When looking for accommodation in Schladen, it can help to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. If the outdoor swimming pool and its range of water and play facilities are important to you, factor in its seasonal opening dates. If you’re mainly interested in the Imperial Palace, Werla’s early medieval history offers a different focus. Both themes can each be part of a stay in Schladen, without you having to expect the same kind of excursion.

Consider which theme you’d like to make more time for on your trip: the seasonal outdoor swimming pool or the history and landscape of Imperial Palace Werla. When comparing options, refer to the information for each accommodation and consider which part of the trip matters most to you.
