The popular natural outdoor pool in Kreuztal's Krombach has temporarily closed its doors, but rest assured, this decision isn't due to any issues with water quality. According to the local authorities, the pool's water visibility depth has fallen below the prescribed minimum of 1 meter.
This reduction in water visibility is caused by naturally occurring suspended solids in the water, which do not pose any harm. Despite this, the clarity of the water is crucial for emergency rescue operations, making the 1-meter visibility depth a mandatory requirement.
While the pool in Krombach is closed, its counterparts in Eichen and Zitzenbach (Ferndorf) remain open as usual, offering locals an alternative place to enjoy a refreshing swim.
The good news is that the natural occurrence of turbidity in Krombach's pool is not affecting the pool's reopening. The pool can reopen once the water visibility depth reaches 1 meter again.
It's worth noting that natural outdoor pools sometimes close temporarily for reasons such as maintenance, safety inspections, or environmental concerns. The reopening date for Krombach's natural outdoor pool is yet to be confirmed.
