Wöllstein: Appelbach, Town Center and Swimming Season

Wöllstein offers three clearly distinct themes for planning your trip: the Appelbach, a historic town center and a seasonal leisure and adventure pool.

Wöllstein’s Townscape and the Appelbach

The Appelbach flows through Wöllstein and provides a place to pause during walks through town. The historic town center includes the former Art Nouveau district court dating from 1905, the Protestant parish church, the Catholic church and the town hall. The water tower is the town’s landmark.

Seasonal Swimming

The leisure and adventure pool at Schlossstadion in Wöllstein combines a large swimming pool with a separate children’s pool and two water slides. The facility also includes a shady sunbathing lawn, play equipment and a bistro. The published operating season runs from May to September. Check the specific opening days, prices and availability before visiting.
