An old cargo ship hull converted to a fresh-water swimming pool, anchored permanently on the river Spree. Provides a nice opportunity to swim on the Spree, without swimming in the river, which is far too polluted. There is a bar with disco DJ music next to the pool. In winter time, the pool is covered against the weather.
