About Flussbad Au-Höngg
The Au-Höngg baths lie on the Werdinsel, in Höngg in the north-west of the city: the Limmat flows past one side of the island and a canal good for swimming runs along the other, with lawns and trees in between. There are two children’s pools, a playground, a football pitch, barbecue sites and a kiosk; entry costs nothing. It closes for the winter, and the canal suits confident swimmers.
