PLUB – Pirmasenser Luft- und Badepark

PLUB, the Pirmasenser Luft- und Badepark, is the municipal bath of Pirmasens and combines an indoor hall with a separate open-air bath on one site. The operator describes the indoor area as laid out over more than 3,000 square metres, of which 1,200 square metres are water surface, with pools held at differing temperatures; no single figure for the bath as a whole is published. The water is plain heated water. The operator mentions no thermal water, spring, brine or mineral water.

The pools the operator lists indoors are a 25-metre sport pool at 27 °C, a Bewegungsbecken fed by wall spouts, massage jets and floor bubblers, an Erlebnisbecken carrying a scale replica of the Teufelstisch rock with a waterfall that switches in intervals into a massage mushroom, an Aktionsbecken where the slide lands, a non-swimmers' pool, a children's area with a paddling pool, a whirlpool, a hot whirlpool and an outdoor pool heated all year that is reached from inside through a swim-through channel and fitted with massage jets and whirl loungers. The single slide is a high-speed giant tunnel slide of more than 80 metres, reached by its own tower and climbed again by a spiral staircase. There is no sauna: the operator's rest offer is two heated benches, a sun lawn with infrared radiant heaters, a solarium, and fitness and aqua courses.

The open-air bath adds a diving facility, a wide slide, whirl loungers, a climbing wall, beach ball, a children's area, a playground, a lawn and a kiosk. The two halves alternate by season. In the open-air season, roughly June to mid-September, the open-air bath is open daily 08:00 to 20:00, with admission until 18:45 and the pools usable until half an hour before closing; in the winter season the indoor bath opens on Sundays and holidays 09:00 to 19:00.
