Perg natural forest pool experience

In 2009, the Waldbad was developed into a generation park. It is intended to be a meeting place for all age groups. The riverside pool with sunbathing lawn invites you to relax in summer.
There is also a beach volleyball court, an asphalt curling track and a Kneipp facility.

FORMER and NOW:
At the entrance to the Naarntal valley lies the public swimming centre 'Schwimmschule' - Waldbad, built at the turn of the century. Many holidaymakers visited this establishment. A swimming instructor gave swimming lessons to children and adults there.

Perg was not only discovered as a summer holiday destination in recent years. Even 50 years ago, Perg was already popular with summer guests, mostly from Vienna and Linz (outstanding members of the Vienna Burgtheater were summer guests at the "Stiegenwirt" 40 years ago), who chose Perg as their summer holiday destination. Perg probably owes its attraction for summer guests first and foremost to the marvellous Naarn with its clear, iron-brown water. The swimming school, the baths, well maintained by the local beautification association, offer the most pleasant summer and water pleasures for young and old alike.

The favourable location of Perg offers summer visitors pleasant walks and excursions both on the plain and in the wooded mountains. The town of Perg is surrounded by forest on its entire northern side, by the beautifully maintained Stephaniehain with its many resting places and beautiful views. (Created on the occasion of the marriage of Crown Prince Rudolf to Stephanie of Belgium on 10 May 1881). This beautiful nature park was created for Perg in an exemplary and solid manner thanks to the care of Mr Thannheiser, Mr Fries and Mr Burgholzer, who were eager members of the beautification association. Summer visitors can hike for hours in the berry- and mushroom-rich forests along the Naarntal valley, relax in the aromatic forest air, enjoy a meal in the Naarntal valley's restaurants and take a refreshing dip at any time to refresh their tired limbs.
