📜 History

The construction of Koupadlo was the first project of the Okrašlovací spolek (Beautification Society) in 1908, planned by Professor Velflík. It was significantly expanded in 1928 due to high interest, adding Elbe sand to the beach and building tennis and volleyball courts. After WWII, the swimming pool was neglected and eventually closed in the 1960s-70s due to polluted water from Strančice. It has since been restored and reopened, reclaiming its place as a beloved local spot.

💰 Cost

Historically, every visitor was required to purchase a ticket for entry.
