Smagshuset Ikast-Brande

22/08/2026: We went there twice during our holiday because we enjoyed it so much. The swimming pool offers a lot of play options for children. There are two slides, a climbing wall in the swimming area, a large inflatable animal, and 1m, 3m, and 5m diving boards. There's plenty for little ones too. Swimming aids in three sizes are available to borrow free of charge. There are also water toys, pool noodles, etc. However, the customs in Danish swimming pools are a bit different than in Germany. You have to wash completely, including your hair with soap, and without your swimwear; you can only put it on afterward. Everyone adheres to this rule because it allows for less chlorine to be used (a very nice staff member explained this to us). I would recommend packing plenty of towels or a bathrobe for the children, as the changing rooms are rather cold. And I would recommend a hairdryer if you have long hair; there's only one on the wall, and it's more suitable for short hair. The staff was very friendly and spoke excellent English. We can also recommend the food.

01/08/2026: A lovely day in good surroundings.
