Verwell Erlebnisbad

Verwell is the leisure bath of Verden (Aller) in Lower Saxony. The operator divides the site into three parts: a covered water world, an outdoor bathing complex open in summer, and a sauna landscape, with a restaurant and a massage department alongside them.

Indoors, the Erlebnisbecken is described as having a current channel and water geysers, and is kept warm regardless of the weather outside. The indoor sports pool is open all year, has five 25-metre lanes and a 3-metre diving platform, and its water temperature is given as around 27 °C. The indoor baby pool holds water at 31 °C and sits in an area with its own sanitary facilities, changing tables and washbasins for parents with small children. The tube slide, the TORTUGA, reaches speeds of over 33 km/h and has daylight and video effects, with a choice of three motif worlds selected by button before the start.

The outdoor complex consists of a large Erlebnisbecken with water attractions, a 25-metre sports pool with eight lanes and a raised water level, a baby pool with a water depth of only 20 to 35 centimetres, and a diving facility with its own 200 square metre pool, separated from the other pools, with platforms at 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 metres. A lawn, a volleyball court and a playground with a pirate ship adjoin them.

The sauna landscape covers 440 square metres. Its rooms are a Teichsauna at 80–90 °C and 20 per cent humidity with a panorama window onto the pond and room for up to 60 guests; a Blockhaus-Sauna in the garden at 90–100 °C and 10 per cent humidity; a Finnish sauna at 80–90 °C and 25 per cent humidity with daily changing natural infusions; an Erdsauna at 100–110 °C and 15 per cent humidity, a keloholz cabin half sunk into the ground with a wood fire; a Bio-Sanarium at 50–60 °C and 50 per cent humidity with colour light therapy; and a steam bath at 44–48 °C and 100 per cent humidity. Rest areas include a glazed rest room facing the sauna garden, a fireplace room and a quiet room of keloholz; the sauna garden has a heated outdoor pool and its own catering.
