Grossabünt Recreational Park

Bring a swimsuit and a sense of adventure. You’ll probably end up needing a soccer ball, a volleyball and a picnic blanket too. At Grossabünt Recreation Park in Gamprin, every family spends the day a little differently. Most make a beeline for the water, where an 80 × 60 m natural swimming lake – filtered entirely without chemicals – forms the heart of the park. Younger children splash in the separate shallow-water area while confident swimmers dive from the platform or swim lap after lap across the lake.

Once fingers and toes begin to wrinkle, the fun moves onto dry land. An adventure playground, pirate ship, slackline, bouldering wall and zip line keep kids on the move, while soccer and beach volleyball games spring up across the sports fields. Families looking for a quieter break can follow the wood and stone trail to discover more about the area’s nature and history before relaxing at the bright, light-filled pavilion café or spreading out a picnic blanket beneath the trees.

With swimming, sports, playgrounds and plenty of room to spread out, Grossabünt is the kind of place where families happily spend the entire day. And somehow, everything you packed that morning ends up getting used.
