Tourism & Travel / Marketing brochure of a town
German term or phrase: Naturbad
In einer Stadtmarketingbroschüre wird das Naturbad (also ein Schwimmbad ohne Heizung / Chlor etc.) angepriesen. Ichhabe bisher nur "ecological swimming pool" gefunden, finde das aber merkwürdig und auch aus Platzgründen etwas unpraktikabel. Und es ist kein bad, das voneiner natürlichen Quelle gespeist wird.

Gibt es eventuell dafür noch einen anderen Begriff?
