House & Wellness: Oasis of the Month

Riding the waves
Walkers stroll along the nearby edge of the forest and sometimes stop at the estate, which tells of Westphalian tradition with its timber-framed architecture. Their eyes quickly fall on the stables of the equestrian center, which enjoys an excellent reputation far beyond the borders of the region. It is not uncommon to hear hikers say: "Look, they even have a pool." And indeed, through a small opening in the bushes, there is a flash of blue. Of course, when it comes to the Oasis of the Month award, we are more interested in the pool than the horses.

Even though the pool shares similarities with a purebred racehorse: ten meters long, solar-powered underfloor roller shutter cover, sun deck made of Bangkirai wood, all-round insulation and water attractions built into the steps.
"RivieraPool Classic 370 with Treppe Capri Maritim" is the name of this racehorse. And it also consumes very little oats - sorry, energy. This is ensured, among other things, by the solar cover with its black underside, which radiates sunlight as warmth into the pool water. Overall, such measures provide the weary riders with an extra 3 to 4 degrees of warmth on a sunny day. www.pools.de
