Naturfreibad Vingst

Swimming in a former gravel pit lake, known locally as the Vingster Baggerloch, with a sand beach, sun decks, hammocks and a sand-and-water playground rather than tiled pools. There is a kiosk on site and the operator describes the place as disability-friendly. Season-only and outdoor throughout; the ticket desk and last admission close an hour before the gates do.
