Echternach: The former swimming pool
|
![]() Not so very long ago Echternach had an official swimming-pool next to the river Sauer/Sure. Today it does not exist any more.
The open air swimming pool has been replaced by a closed one in a "modern" building in the centre of Echternach.
Furthermore today people prefer to swim in the lake - the Sauer unfortunately often is not clean enough anymore.

Echternach: Today and Yesterday

![]() Part of the postcard from above: It is hard to believe, but until about 100 years ago, there were had been a
ship-bulding-industry in Echternach. The river Sure had historically been an important transport-route.
