Lehen: Türmle and indoor swimming pool

Lehener Bergle, with its Türmle viewpoint, and the Lehen indoor swimming pool offer two distinct experiences. If you are looking for a hotel in Lehen, these attractions can help you choose a stay that suits your interests: at Bergle, the focus is on the views and an uphill walk; at the indoor swimming pool, it is on swimming and play facilities. The wider destination of Freiburg im Breisgau offers additional cultural and city experiences. When planning, the restricted vehicle access at Türmle and the indoor swimming pool’s changeable opening hours and programs are particularly relevant.

Lehener Bergle and Türmle viewpoint

Lehener Bergle is in the Mooswald landscape conservation area and provides the setting for the Türmle viewpoint above Lehen. From the viewpoint, you can see across Freiburg. The landscape and the views are the main focus of a visit.

Vehicle access is reserved for agricultural vehicles. To reach Türmle, park in Lehen and then walk uphill; there are only a few parking spaces right by the viewpoint. Factor the walk and limited parking into your plans. Check the current access conditions before your visit.

Swimming and play facilities at the Lehen indoor swimming pool

The Lehen indoor swimming pool offers a family-friendly swimming experience. The pool has a 16.7-meter sports pool, a 6.5-meter snake slide, and water play equipment. Outside, there is a lawn, a sand and mud playground, and a bird’s nest swing. Barbecue areas and table tennis round out the facilities.

Opening hours and programs may change. Check both before your visit. Unlike Türmle, the focus here is on swimming and play and leisure facilities; at Bergle, the views and uphill walk shape the visit. This makes it easy to distinguish the two local attractions based on what you are looking for.

Freiburg im Breisgau as a wider destination

The Documentation Center on National Socialism in Freiburg presents local history from 1918 to the present across three floors. Interactive exhibitions, a former air-raid shelter, and biographies of eyewitnesses offer insights into Freiburg’s engagement with the Nazi era. The exhibition areas combine a historical overview with personal life stories.

The west tower of Freiburg Minster is 116 meters high. The Minster is also home to the 750-year-old Hosanna: the bell weighs three tonnes and is one of Germany’s oldest Angelus bells. The Augustinermuseum has an extensive art and cultural history collection spanning the Middle Ages to the Baroque period.

Freiburg’s Bächle are waterways that flow through numerous lanes in Freiburg’s Old Town. Freiburg’s Upper Old Town, with its Gewerbekanal, Gerberau, Fischerau, and Insel, invites you to explore its cobbled streets on foot. These places offer a different focus from Lehen’s views and swimming pool.

Seepark Freiburg has a bathing lake, restaurants, a swimming pool, playgrounds, and a mini-golf course. You can also go pedal boating on the lake. Weather and operations may affect pedal boat availability; check the current options in advance.

Along various adventure trails on Schlossberg, information panels and 3D display cases present individual moments from its history. Trail conditions may change, so it is a good idea to check them before your visit.
