The Spree River is overly polluted for swimming. However, locals have not been prevented from taking a dip in their native river on warm summer days. The Badeschiff is a cargo container that has been converted into a clean swimming environment. It is located along the banks of the Spree, and was opened in 2004. Near the pool entrance is a bar, and lively music is often playing throughout the day.
