Dark water, wide meadow – a Living Pool in Lenggries

A pool that looks as if the landscape itself had laid it there: 8 × 4 metres, 1.50 m deep, dark base, with the meadows and mountains of the Isarwinkel behind it. Because the base is dark, the water looks deep and mirrors the sky and the peaks – an effect you never get with a light-coloured liner.

To be honest about who did what: the pool itself was largely built by the client, as part of building the house. We supplied the Living Pool technology from Biotop and completed the installation – that is, everything that ensures people still swim in this pool without chlorine today. Natural stone, boulders, lavender and grasses frame the edge all around, so the transition to the meadow blurs.

And then there is what we are really proud of: we have been here every year since 2017 – winterising, reopening, water testing, a new filter in 2020, a cleaning robot in 2026. Nine seasons without a break. A natural pool is not an appliance you buy, but a system that someone has to know.

Incidentally, there is a second Living Pool of ours in Lenggries – with a prefabricated pool instead of a masonry one, with a view of the Brauneck instead of the valley: The pool that came for Christmas. Two neighbours, two construction methods, the same idea. How the technology works: Living Pool · Service and maintenance.
