Do You Dare? Diving Platforms at Tirol’s Swimming Lakes and Pools

Updated on 29.06.2016 in Recommendations

Sprungturm Area47

Splash & swim the day away at our lakes and outdoor pools! No one can resist the watery call of adventure to cool off on a hot summers’ day. Thrill seekers meet their match on diving platforms throughout the country. My personal best is jumping off into the water from the quivering 3-meter springboard. Do you dare to jump from a higher stationary surface?
