Besonders schön finde ich die große, gepflegte Liegewiese – unter den alten Bäumen findet man immer ein schattiges Plätzchen zum Entspannen. Auch Familien mit Kindern kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten: Das separate Kinderbecken mit Rutsche sorgt für Spaß und Abwechslung. Insgesamt ein sehr sauberes, gemütliches Freibad mit angenehmer Atmosphäre – perfekt, um den Sommer in vollen Zügen zu genießen! ![Bauernladen](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/403313/CC10AAEDFD9887FDB1EE7B24AE66F358A7CE7C1413380D4294FD628E581367A1/bauernladen.jpg "Bauernladen") Gaflenzer - Bauernladen Die außergewöhnliche Qualität unserer angebotenen Produkte wird auch Ihren Gaumen verwöhnen.
