Dresden Naturbad Reopens as Parasite Larvae Persist

Reopening follows a failed chemical treatment with admission fees halved to offset lingering health risks

Overview

  • Naturbad Mockritz has resumed daily operation from 10:00 to 19:00 with 5,000 tickets available online for purchase.
  • Chemical cleaning by an authorized specialist produced clear, pH-balanced water but cercariae larvae remained.
  • Entrance fees have been halved to €2.50 for adults and €1.25 for children to offset concerns over persistent contamination.
  • Bädersprecher Lars Kühl cautioned that cercariae can cause harmless Badedermatitis, which usually subsides within 10 to 14 days and does not affect every swimmer.
  • Dresdner Bäder GmbH acknowledged that no short-term remedy is available and that the risk of infestation cannot be fully eliminated.
