Visitors can skate on a 1,000-square-meter real ice rink, try Bavarian curling, or attend ice discos with live DJs. Two large rustic alpine huts and outdoor stalls offer warm drinks and hearty winter food like cheese spaetzle, kale, burgers, and tarte flambée.

Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets online before you go, because there is no ticket desk on site, though online sales stay open during the day.
- Bring a card, since all of Strandbad Grünau is cashless and only card payments are accepted at the rink and the food stalls.
- Reserve skates online ahead of time, but on Fridays and Saturdays online reservation isn't possible and you rent them on site.
- Visit on a Wednesday with kids, when children up to 12 get in free without a ticket and Eisstockschießen costs nothing.
- Leave the dog at home, since dogs are not allowed anywhere in Strandbad Grünau, and that includes the Winterwelt.
