Hochstadt open-air swimming pool soon to be completely barrier-free
A test drive: georg stirnweib carefully places his gloved hand on the wheel rims of his wheelchair. The new path, which is supposed to provide accessibility in the open-air swimming pool, appears to be steep. Stirnweib gives himself a jolt and rolls slowly down the hill. Then he brakes, turns around and mows his way up the hill again. "For a disabled wheelchair user the slope is no problem", he says. Test passed.
Stirnweib, second chairman of the barrier-free association in the district of erlangen-hochstadt, and manfred muller, commissioner for the disabled, take a close look at the new features in the wave outdoor pool – and are satisfied: "the rolling path that leads directly to the pool and the lift to get into the water have already been solved for wheelchair users", says muller.
