koupaliště Motol

Did you ever imagine a hospital with its own beach? Well, here at Koupaliště Motol, nestled beside the sprawling grounds of Motol University Hospital, you’ll find just that. Koupaliště Motol is a natural swimming pool created from the middle of three Motolské ponds. It’s a surprising oasis of relaxation and fun. The pool itself spans an impressive 15,000 square meters, offering plenty of space for a refreshing dip. Koupaliště Motol is fed by the Motolský potok (Motol stream), ensuring a continuous flow of fresh, clean water. The Hygienic Station of Prague regularly monitors the water quality, consistently ranking it among the best in the city. Beyond the swimming area, Koupaliště Motol provides a range of amenities for a perfect day out. There’s a grassy area for sunbathing, a designated nudist area, refreshments, table tennis, and changing rooms. A lifeguard is always on duty to ensure everyone’s safety. Koupaliště Motol isn’t just a summer destination. Plans are in place for a major renovation. This includes a new multi-functional building replacing the aging structures currently on site. This new building, designed by the architectural firm ORTOGONAL, will house changing rooms, a restaurant, and even a wellness center with a sauna, allowing for year-round enjoyment. This project aims to enhance the natural beauty of Koupaliště Motol. They will create a children’s “dry playground” and a “wet playground” with water features. They also plan to enhance the nudist area with a labyrinth of greenery for privacy. The main entrance to the water will be improved with a new wooden pier and handrails for easier access. Koupaliště Motol has a rich history, serving as a beloved recreational spot for locals and visitors alike. The upcoming renovations promise to make it even better. They will expand the usable outdoor space. They also aim to make the facilities more sustainable and family-friendly. So next time you’re in Prague, take a detour from the usual tourist spots and discover this hidden gem. Koupaliště Motol offers a unique blend of natural beauty, recreational fun, and a touch of the unexpected.
