Maribor Island
Mariborski otok
A small island in the Drava River with an open-air pool built in the 1930s, a favourite summer spot for locals to swim and cool off.
Maribor Island lies in the Drava River about 3 kilometres west of the city centre. The island has an outdoor swimming pool dating to the 1930s, surrounded by shady trees. In summer it is a popular place for local families to swim and sunbathe, and visitors can also stroll and do some birdwatching on the island. The pool charges a daily admission fee and is open in summer. It takes about 15 minutes to get there by bicycle or bus from the town centre.
