The pillar bath: Swimming pool with a view of the valley
Two levels filled with columns that resemble a Roman bathhouse and a basin measuring 12 × 5 m with 29 °C warm water: The column bath is the place for swims in the morning and for the hours when the wind is blowing outside. Through the panoramic windows you can see the Hallenberger valley while swimming; around the basin the sun loungers are located on two levels, and the swimsuit bistro is a few steps away. The column bath is open daily from 07:00 until 22:00.
The infinity outdoor pool: Swimming with a view of the valley, even in winter
20 meters long, heated year-round to 31°C, and designed so that the water edge merges into the landscape: Those who swim to the edge of the pool can look out over Hallenberg and into the hills of the Medebach Bay. In summer, the pool terrace with sun loungers and drinks from the bathrobe bistro, and in winter, the steam over the water. Open from 07:00; closing time depends on the weather and season.
Saunas and snow cave
In addition to the two pools, there are three dry saunas – the Finnish sauna, the fir-wood sauna and the panoramic sauna with a view of the nature – as well as a Roman sweat bath and a steam bath for humid warmth. We deliberately do not offer hot baths; in the dry heat you can stay as long as you like. For cooling off, there is the snow cave, which is open all year round. Between the corridors, you will find yourself in the "Timeless" relaxation room – hammocks, double beds, dim light.
Already in the water on the day of arrival
The spa area is open to you from 12:30 on the day of arrival; your room is ready for occupation from 15:00. Bathrobes and wellness bags are provided; in the morning breakfast is served until 11:30, in the evening the four-course menu arrives at your table. If you only want to use the swimming pool for one day, you will find it on our website.

Frequently asked questions about the hotel with swimming pool in the Sauerland
How big is the swimming pool at DIEDRICH?
The indoor pillar pool measures 12 × 5 meters, the outdoor infinity pool 20 × 5 meters. Both are designed for water skiing; there is no children's pool or slide because our house is Adults Only from 16 years old.
Is the outdoor pool also open in winter?
Yes. The infinity outdoor pool is heated all year round and open from morning until evening; the closing time in the evening depends on the weather and the season. Especially in winter, when the steam rises above the water and snow lies on the hills, it is the most beautiful place in the house for many guests.
Can I use the swimming pool as a day visitor?
Yes, as part of our Day Spa packages with breakfast, with an evening menu, or as a pure evening spa. Because we only allocate a limited number of seats each day, we kindly ask for a reservation in advance; adults-only policy also applies at the Day Spa from the age of 16.
Is the hotel with a swimming pool suitable for families with children?
No. DIEDRICH is a wellness hotel for adults aged 16 and over, throughout the entire building and every day. The pools are places to swim and relax, not to have fun. For parents looking for a few days alone together, that’s exactly the reason to come.
How warm are the pools?
The indoor pillar pool has a temperature of 29 °C, while the infinity outdoor pool is heated to 31 °C all year round. Both temperatures apply year-round; in winter, the outdoor pool is significantly warmer than the air, and the steam over the water is part of the experience.
