If you and your family are looking to escape the hot summer concrete, lounge in the middle of deep forests, and don’t mind a little walk, the Divoká Šárka swimming pool (also known as U Veselíka) is the right place for you. This legendary complex lies right in the heart of the romantic Šárka valley and can be reached by a pleasant, roughly ten-minute walk from the tram terminus.
Famous Refreshment and Swimming The complex is famous for its clean but very refreshing water. The pools are fed directly by springs from the Šárka stream, so even in the biggest tropical heatwaves, you are guaranteed to cool down here. There are two swimming pools for adults and older children, and for the very little ones, there is a separate, safe paddling pool with a slightly more pleasant water temperature.
Fun and Relaxation in Nature Around the pools, you will find plenty of grassy areas to lay out a blanket. The shade under mature trees is ideal for a baby’s afternoon nap or a quiet family picnic. When the kids aren’t in the water, they will be reliably entertained by a small playground, popular trampolines, or a ping-pong table.
The Charm of Tradition and Peace The swimming pool has its own unique retro charm, and there is a very calm, almost family-like atmosphere. There are classic changing rooms, toilets, and a traditional buffet with seating where you can grab your favorite summer snacks. In short, Divoká Šárka is an ideal place for families who love nature and want to enjoy a day by the water in complete peace.
