A pretty lake, a green meadow, a bit of patina: The Arheilger Mühlchen in Darmstadt doesn’t need much to be a perfect outdoor pool.

VThere is nothing special here, but this bathing lake is something special: the Arheilger Mühlchen, in the tranquil Darmstadt suburb of Arheilgen. Green lawn for sunbathing, tall, old trees all around, a paddling pool with an awning for the little ones, a red water slide, a small kiosk: that’s it. And yet this lake has its very own charm – and also its very own patina.
