Heated and with a picturesque view: The swimming pool is designed as an infinity pool, where you can enjoy the view of the valley for many hours of the day and where the sun shines for a long time.
Why we have an outdoor pool
For many, water is simply part of the holiday experience in both the warm and the cold months - and personally, we feel the same way. It is simply too beautiful to listen to the gentle lapping of water while relaxing in the sun, to watch the sun reflecting off the water in the cool water, or to cool off after a swim in the water. No wonder many see the pool as the centerpiece of the wellness hotel, especially in the summer when the temperatures are rising.
Looking out over the edge of the infinity pool and relaxing
The 20-meter x 5-meter Infinity Pool protrudes four meters above the existing hotel building, offering a unique bathing experience. From the edge of the pool, you can look out over the Hallenberger valley and enjoy the rising sun – pure romance. Around the pool you will find a cozy spot where you can make the most of the beautiful weather in the Sauerland – both in the shade and in the sun.

Frequently asked questions about our hotel with outdoor pool in NRW
Is the infinity pool heated all DIEDRICH year round?
Yes. Our infinity outdoor pool is open all year round and heated to a pleasant 31°C. This way you can swim in the warm water while gazing out over the Hallenberger valley – in summer under a blue sky, in winter with snow on the hills.
Is the outdoor pool more suitable for swimming or just for relaxing?
Both. The outdoor pool is designed with dimensions of 20 x 5 meters so that you can relax and swim laps while at the same time having plenty of space to simply let go. Many guests start their day with a few quiet swims and then enjoy the gentle movement with a view of the valley.
For whom is a stay at a hotel with an outdoor pool Sauerland particularly suitable?
As an adults-only wellness hotel for people aged 16 and over, it is aimed DIEDRICH at couples, girlfriends, friends and solo travelers who appreciate tranquility. For those seeking a heated outdoor pool, saunas, relaxation rooms and good food in a relaxed atmosphere – without the hassle of children or dogs – this is the perfect retreat in NRW.
Can I use the outdoor pool as a day guest?
Yes, as part of our Day Spa offerings, day guests can also use the wellness area with indoor and outdoor pools. Since we deliberately limit the number of Day Spa seats, a prior reservation is essential to ensure a pleasant and quiet environment in the spa and outdoor pool areas, so that you can truly enjoy your time off.
How is the outdoor pool integrated into the entire spa area?
The infinity outdoor pool is connected directly to the indoor pool and the spa levels. You can easily switch between the indoor and outdoor areas, saunas, relaxation areas, and the bathrobe bistro without leaving the house. This way, the outdoor pool feels like a harmonious part of your wellness break at any time of the year.
Are there enough sun loungers and seating areas around the outdoor pool?
Yes, around the infinity pool and on the adjoining terrace you will find various sun loungers and comfortable seating areas. Depending on the time of day, you can choose to find a spot in the sun or in the shade and enjoy the view over the hills of the Sauerland - with plenty of space to breathe.
Is the hotel with an outdoor pool located in a quiet area - or rather in a busy place?
Our house is located in Hallenberg in the Sauerland, about 15 kilometers south of Winterberg. From the infinity pool you have a view of a green valley with half-timbered towns and hills, instead of the city landscape. This way you can combine the good accessibility in NRW with real nature and a deliberately quiet environment for your wellness holiday with an outdoor pool.

As a wellness hotel with an outdoor pool, it is a summer destination
We love what we do. Our hotel, our everyday life, our region. Especially in winter, this is popular Sauerland among many guests for a wellness holiday. So we immediately picture snowy landscapes here. Nothing fits this better than a relaxing break in the warmth. Let the view from the heated outdoor pool sweep over the cold of winter, enjoy the pleasant heat in the sauna, or dine by the crackling of the fireplace. Yes, that Sauerland is almost perfect for a wellness holiday in winter.
What many do not know, however - even in the warmer months, it is beautiful here.
Here in the Sauerland there are many lush green meadows where horses, sheep and cows graze contentedly. There are gentle mountains that are sometimes difficult to climb, but offer a beautiful view of the Sauerland from many places. Hiking trails characterize the landscape and convey an impression of the region's diversity. All around there are lakes, such as the Edertalsperre, the Hillebachsee or the Weddelsee. All of them attract with their own special features - with water sports, as an idyllic fishing paradise, with a beach or with picturesque shores. There are sights, monuments and vibrant culture. Just think of the open-air stage where the Passion of Christ is performed every ten years, the small ice museum or the Kump with its interesting exhibitions in the city center. Despite all that, the Sauerland around Hallenberg is still a secret tip for a relaxing wellness holiday in the summer.
Summer vacation in the Sauerland
The region alone offers enough reasons to visit the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa even during the warmer months. But one thing has always been a little lacking in summer: water. By that we mean an opportunity for you to enjoy the cool water in the fresh air on beautiful days while the sun caresses your skin. To watch the sun set in the morning and to let yourself drift away in the water. To refresh yourself after a strenuous hike and to have a gentle swim afterwards. Or to simply lie outside in complete relaxation and to consciously enjoy the time. We want to fulfill this wish for our guests with the heated pools of the wellness hotel year-round.
