Kick-off for the Outdoor Season
After the cool spring months, the swimming season in the Lichtstadt is within reach. With the format „FeierAbend“ at the Strandschleicher, the Jenaer Bädergesellschaft offers an after-work event specifically aimed at professionals, students, and families who want to end the workday in a relaxed manner.
Culinary Delights and Campfire Romance
The concept for the season opening on May 7 relies on proven beach bar elements. In addition to cold drinks, classic food from the grill will be served. Quiet, relaxed background music will provide the acoustic backdrop. A special highlight of the evening is the planned campfire atmosphere with a direct view of the water of the Schleichersee, which is intended to make the holiday feeling in the middle of the city perfect. The event traditionally marks the unofficial start of the summer beach bar operations at the Südbad.
Background: Local Recreation at Schleichersee
The Schleichersee, part of the Südbad area, is one of the most frequented local recreation areas in Jena. The beach bar „Strandschleicher“ has established itself in recent years as a fixed meeting point for mild summer evenings and attracts hundreds of visitors daily during the peak season. Due to its central location near the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld and the Oberaue, the area is excellently integrated into the urban infrastructure. Arrival is recommended by bicycle via the Saale cycle paths or by public transport from Jenaer Nahverkehr. The nearest tram stop is „Sportforum“ (lines 1, 4, and 5), from which the lake can be reached in a few minutes on foot.
