★★★★★a year agoEs muy buen spot para tomar el sol, leer un libro, tomar algo con amigos, nadar...
Martin Nay
★★★★★Edited 4 years agoBei niedrigen Wasserstand wie diesen Sommer, perfekter Ein- bzw.Ausstig zum schwimmen oder plantschen. Für Kinder,bei wenig Besucher, auch für Hunde und ihre Besitzer idealer Ort um zu baden. Mit Rampe, Treppe und Dusche auch bis an den Rheinuferweg barierefrei.
