Although it got off to an extremely slow start, the summer season was ultimately very successful for Linz AG Bäder. From mid-June onwards, guests really got into the spirit of outdoor fun, which lasted until the end of the season due to the temperatures and ensured record visitor numbers. 

In the summer season between May and September, a total of 365,549 outdoor bathers visited Linz's bathing oases. "We are very satisfied with this year's summer season and were able to record around 12,800 more admissions than in the previous year. The summer vacations were characterized by very hot temperatures, which is why many bathers sought to cool off. With a total number of 365,549 visitors, the 2024 summer season is one of the top 3 in the last 15 years," says LINZ AG BÄDER manager Roland Heß.

Peak figure: over 105,000 visitors in July
The many hot days in the summer months of July and August ensured that the pools were well attended: with a total of 105,436 bathers, July was the absolute frontrunner this year. However, the peak day of the 2024 summer season was still in June: on Saturday, June 29, 4,547 bathers refreshed themselves in the Parkbad, on the same day there were 3,182 guests in the Hummelhofbad and 2,343 bathers in the Schörgenhub adventure oasis.

Winter season already started
The LINZ AG BÄDER team used the summer months to overhaul the indoor facilities. Finally, the 2024/25 winter season started on 9 September; due to work in the indoor pool and sauna area of the Schörgenhub adventure oasis, it will not be back in operation until the end of October.
