Swimming in spring
Bathing beauties meet at the Klagenfurt lido
The mood could hardly be better at the Klagenfurt lido, which has already opened its doors for two days.
Splashing water, beads of sweat on your forehead and the smell of suntan oil in your nose - that's summer! But isn't it only April? And it lives up to the saying "April Fool's Day". Because the thermometer in Carinthia is set to rise to 30 degrees this Sunday! This highlight is thanks to high "Peter".
Want to cool off?
And with temperatures like these, a dip in the cold water is naturally tempting. For this reason, the Klagenfurt lido has also opened the boat bridge for two days - yesterday, Saturday, and today, Sunday - from 10 am to 6 pm, with free access.
"Since people come to the water anyway, we thought we'd make the whole thing official with lifeguards in order to offer bathers safety," says Erwin Smole, CEO of Stadtwerke. Barbara, one of the two lifeguards, emphasizes: "If anyone has problems or needs help, we are there. We supervise all bathers and, above all, point out that you shouldn't underestimate the cold water!" The water temperature of Lake Wörthersee is currently eleven degrees. So it's not for everyone. "It takes a bit of courage and a bit of overcoming to throw yourself into the water," says the expert.
This has never happened before
Bathing mermaid Bettina seized the opportunity: "I've been going to the Klagenfurt lido every year since I can remember and I can't remember ever being able to jump into the water so early." This weekend is a warm-up, so to speak, for the official start of the lido swimming season on April 27. "We use these two hot spring days to give citizens a little summer feeling. And it's been well received," says Smole.
A quick trip to the lake
Before the temperature plummets and it rains on Tuesday, people can enjoy the heat by swimming in Klagenfurt's lido until Sunday evening.
