The swimming pond at the Benediktenhof

A green pond with water lilies, a timber jetty and bean bags at the Landhaus Benediktenhof country house in Arzbach – one of our oldest installations, carefully renewed.

Landhaus Benediktenhof in Arzbach near Bad Tölz is an organic country house with a garden and sauna – and its swimming pond is one of the oldest we have built. It looks as it does today because we renewed it when its time had come – the pond stayed, its inner workings were made young again.

What makes this installation special is how natural it feels. No chlorine, no pool look: a green pond with water lilies and a reed zone, a timber jetty with bean bags, a stainless steel ladder into the clear water – and an old bathtub serving as a planter on the path to the sauna. Even the house cat has its spot on the bank. This is what a swimming pond looks like when it has simply been used for years.

There is one picture we deliberately show that nobody else photographs: the technical shaft with the submersible pump beneath the deck. The technology of a swimming pond is small, quiet and invisible – but it is there, and it needs maintenance. That is exactly what we take on long-term for hotel properties.

To see how the whole place looks from the air, watch the aerial video on our hotel page: Hotels & Hospitality.
