A municipality in the Innviertel region is breaking new ground when it comes to the local lido. An access system has been installed in the entrance area and payment is now only possible without cash. The system is not only met with approval: "How are children supposed to get in there?", disgruntled parents want to know.

Although there have hardly been any bathing days since it opened on May 15, the lido in Lochen am See is already the talk of the region. The reason: the new access system, which since this season has only allowed tickets to be purchased with ATM card payment.
