This That
Our overnight guests can use the lake free of charge during the day (at their own risk).
When the pool is open, visitors are welcome for a small fee.
Sunbathing lawns and a shower on the shore are available for use.
Compliance with the posted bathing regulations is a prerequisite for use.
Yes, during the summer season you can rent stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) at reception for a fee. Just drop by and start paddling!
Of course you can bring your own SUP and explore our natural lake with it.
The lifeguards can restrict use if the small lake area becomes too crowded at times. This way we can ensure a safe and relaxed bathing experience for everyone.
To make a booking, we recommend that you use our online booking tool. There you will find all information about availability and prices - and it is the quickest way. If there are no more places displayed there, unfortunately there are no more available ;)
For all matters other than reservation requests, please feel free to send us an email: booking@waldbad-isny.de. Even during closing times or in high season, we always find a moment to check our emails.
Please understand if you cannot reach us by phone. There are three of us who run the forest pool and we also take care of Camp, Eat and Feel. Most of the time we are out and about on site or talking to our guests at the reception.
Even the youngest guests are welcome and can look forward to a small playground and the shallow non-swimmer area in the natural lake. The large family playground, just 2 minutes from the forest pool, is the closest of many attractions for kids. Feel free to ask us for tips at any time!
Please ensure that children never go to the lake unsupervised - the responsibility always lies with the parents. For safety reasons, cycling and balance bikes are unfortunately not permitted around the lake.
Children under 6 years of age may only use the sanitary areas and facilities when accompanied by an adult.
We also ask you to sensitize your children to treat plants and animals with care so that the forest pool remains a beautiful place for everyone.
You are welcome to grill on our brick grills or directly on your pitch. Please make sure not to grill on the lawn and do not throw hot coals into the garbage cans.
During dry periods, ask at reception whether barbecuing with charcoal is possible.
Open fires (e.g. campfires) and disposable grills are not permitted.
The list of tips is so long that we have listed them in detail elsewhere.
Click here for suggestions on and directly at the Waldbad Isny.
And here you will find an extensive collection of activities around the forest pool.
You are welcome to browse our flyer wall or we can think of something together when you come and visit us at reception.
The charming town of Isny also has an excellent tourist information office , which we can recommend: https://www.isny.de.
Pets are very welcome at our campsite – up to two per unit, for a fee.
Please ensure that your dogs are kept on a leash at all times, including at the campsite, and that their droppings are completely disposed of, not only in the forest pool but also in nature. Animals are not allowed in the sanitary buildings.
Your four-legged friends are also allowed to come with you to most of our holiday accommodations. Exceptions are the sleeping barrel and the holiday apartment. If you have any questions about a specific accommodation, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Your dog will love it here! There are numerous walking and hiking trails around the forest pool - ideal for a short walk or longer tours. Whether through the forest or along the meadows or by the nearest stream, two- and four-legged friends will get their money's worth here.
To ensure that both night owls and early risers are happy, please observe the night-time quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Entry and exit is possible (quietly) even during the night.
We don't have a set lunchtime rest period. We expect all guests to be considerate of one another and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. In summer, especially during the holidays, things can get a bit livelier with children playing - that's just part of our culture.
For those looking for absolute peace and quiet, we recommend staying outside of holiday periods. Then the forest pool is a particularly quiet and relaxing retreat.
Pure nature awaits you in the forest pool - and that also means that mobile reception is limited here. The dense tree population also means that satellite dishes have a hard time here. But don't worry: WiFi is available for a small fee on around 80% of the pitches, so you can still stay connected if you need to.
See it as an invitation to really switch off for once. Without constant notifications, you can fully concentrate on peace, nature and your time out - digital detox included.
Most pitches in the forest pool have WiFi available - perfect for staying in touch or going online for a short time. Our holiday accommodations such as log cabins, holiday homes and holiday apartments are also equipped with WiFi.
There is usually no WiFi reception on the campsites, in the sleeping barrels and in the shepherd's wagons. These areas are a little more secluded and offer you the chance to fully immerse yourself in nature and enjoy being offline.
At the upper sanitary building you will find our 24-hour kiosk, a vending machine that is open around the clock. It doesn't matter if you've run out of cold beer, are hungry late or have forgotten your toothbrush. We make sure to have a mix of regional and exciting other products, from basic foodstuffs to the right snack for the moment.
The nearest supermarket is Norma, 1.3 km away.
Just a few meters away there is a Rewe market with a bakery.
In Wassertorstraße, Isny's pedestrian zone, is the organic store 'Allgäuerin' with a great selection.
On the other side of Isny you will find the Feneberg supermarket with many regional products, as well as Aldi, Lidl and beverage stores.
Isny has a variety of shopping options, from Fritz Berger camping supplies to an Obi hardware store, drugstores and much more.
Due to the general shortage of staff in the region, it is difficult for bakeries to offer a regular bread roll service. During the peak season, you can currently pre-order baked goods such as rolls, grain rolls and pretzels from us, which will then be delivered to the forest pool the following day.
However, the service depends on availability, so it is best to ask reception directly for the current status.
You can of course smoke outside on our premises - but we ask that you be considerate of other guests and keep nature clean by properly disposing of cigarette butts. Smoking is not permitted in the holiday accommodations and public areas. Thank you for your understanding.
Carrying or consuming drugs, narcotics or intoxicants is prohibited.
The use, carrying or storage of weapons and pyrotechnic materials is prohibited, as is drone flight.
In order to preserve this beautiful place, we rely on every guest to treat the facilities and nature with care, to report any damage caused to us and not to cheat on services that are based on trust, such as the ice cream cash register.
We attach great importance to an open and tolerant atmosphere in which everyone is treated with respect. Racist, extremist, discriminatory or disrespectful statements, actions or symbols will not be tolerated. If we become aware of them, we reserve the right to deny people access to the forest pool or to expel them from the site.
questions and answers
Location and Directions
Waldbad Isny
The Waldbad Isny is idyllically located, only 1.3 km from the charming town of Isny in Allgäu and yet secluded in the middle of nature.
Feel
Our bathing lake is available to overnight guests free of charge during the day - use is at your own risk.
There is a lifeguard on site during bathing hours and day visitors are also welcome for a small fee.
Why is that? We didn't make the rules for liability, but unfortunately we have to come to terms with it.All guests are required to comply with the posted bathing rules - they are intended to ensure your safety and respectful interaction with nature.
First class! The cloudiness and light brown color are part of a functioning ecosystem. The Felderholzweiher pond, which is up to 23°C warm, is continuously fed by fresh spring water, an underground stream and rainwater. Regular inspections by the health department confirm the high quality.
Yes! Around the lake you will find a small lawn with sunny and shady spots under old trees. There is also a shower facility right on the shore.
It's great that you asked - we really enjoy the events too! You can find an overview of upcoming events via this link . We look forward to seeing you there!
First, check our event calendar to see if tickets are required for the event and if there are still places available. If so, just come to us directly at the Waldbad. If that doesn't work, send us an email to info@waldbad-isny.de - we'll definitely find a solution.
Unfortunately, we cannot take back tickets - it works the same way as at a concert. However, you are welcome to pass the ticket on to someone else or arrange for a replacement yourself.
Here you can find the terms and conditions for our events.
Camp // Campsite
Please use our online booking tool to ensure that we receive all the information we need from you and that the payment process is straightforward. This way you can also check availability and complete your booking as quickly as possible.
If we are very busy, we are unable to process inquiries by phone or email as a priority, so we recommend booking online.
Groups of 8 or more people must register in advance. Please contact us directly by email.
Groups of 8 or more people are welcome to contact us directly by email.
In the high season, it is unfortunately not possible for us to place large groups next to each other. In the low season, we try to accommodate requests, but unfortunately we can never promise this due to different booking processes.
We are looking forward to our new check-in terminal in spring 2025. It is a practical solution to make your arrival as flexible as possible. You can easily check in here if you arrive late in the evening or if you need to get there quickly.
What can the terminal do?Check-in for already reserved pitches
Spontaneous bookings directly on site, provided capacities are available
What can't the terminal do?
Check-in and booking for rental accommodation (due to key handover)
Check-in and booking for tent pitches (as we will accompany you to the unparceled pitch)
The terminal is available to you around the clock and makes your journey very easy!
As we are introducing a new booking system this year, reservations will only be possible once it is completed. We are working on it daily and hope that bookings will be possible from around Christmas. Thank you for your patience - it's worth it!
PS. To be fair, we don't make an exception if you write us an email ;)
Depending on the season and category, there is a minimum stay. If this is too long for you, you have the option of checking the booking system two days before arrival to see if there is a suitable space available for fewer nights.
To ensure that our site retains its charming and clear character, we are responsible for allocating the parking spaces. Since we only have a few parking spaces, gap optimization is necessary in order to run the site economically while keeping it small and personal.
In the low season, if you are staying for more than 15 days, you are welcome to express your wishes, which we will take into account as best we can. However, we can never guarantee a fixed pitch number - thank you for your understanding!
Camper pitches are for vehicles up to 5 metres long - ideal for VW buses, camper vans, panel vans or cars with roof tents. These pitches are a little smaller and therefore not suitable for large vehicles.
But don't worry: they are just as charming as the larger pitches. In fact, one of our absolute favorite pitches belongs to this category!
Of course, the camper pitches also have an electricity connection.
We have shown the differences in the linked table .
Our premium pitches offer you everything you need for a particularly relaxing stay. They are spacious (approx. 100 m²) and have:
power connection with 16 amps (CEE plug)
SAT signal connection for perfect reception
water supply and sewage connection (available during the summer season)
Paved surface with grass pavers
These places are ideal for those who don't want to miss out on a little extra comfort.
No, our camping area is car-free in order to maintain a quiet and natural atmosphere. This also applies to tent trailers or similar vehicles. The area, which is perfect for camping, would soon look like a field due to vehicles.
A handcart is available for transporting your luggage. You can then park your vehicle in the designated spaces outside the camping area. This way the camping area remains beautiful and natural!
Check-in: From 2:30 pm
Check-out: Until 11am. If you still need to settle your bill, please come to reception the day before your departure.
Early check-in and late check-out: In the low season you can request these options at short notice on the day of arrival or departure, depending on availability. In the high season this is unfortunately not possible due to high occupancy. Thank you for your understanding!
Electricity is included up to a maximum consumption of 5 kW per day.
The use of air conditioning, electricity, heating and other consumers that exceed the usual value (max. 5 kW per day) must be reported before use. In this case, consumption will be billed according to the price list.
If use is not registered in advance, a flat fee of €20 per day of stay will be charged.
Charging of all electric vehicles at the parking space's power columns is prohibited; we are currently working on a charging station on site.
Showers and hot water are included in our price. However, we ask you to use this valuable resource sparingly and consciously so that we can continue to offer this service free of charge in the future. Thank you for your support!
Our recycling station is available for you to separate your waste. Please sort your waste into glass, paper, yellow bags (all packaging except glass and paper) and residual waste. To dispose of faeces, you can use a chemical toilet station, and there is a separate disposal station for grey water.
Pitches: You can comfortably accommodate a camper / motorhome / caravan including a towing vehicle on your pitch. All vehicles must be parked entirely on your pitch. If you would like to enjoy more space, you can park your vehicle outside the site. Since our site is very small, vehicles cannot be parked on the side of the road or in other areas.
In the low season, you may be able to park a second vehicle on your pitch. In the high season, this is unfortunately not possible due to capacity occupancy - in these cases, we recommend that you either leave your second vehicle at home or park it outside the site.
Campsites : Our campsite is a car-free area. Although you cannot drive directly to your campsite, we are happy to provide you with a handcart for transporting your luggage. You can then park your vehicles in parking spaces outside the site.
Dear regular guests, we are delighted that you are still staying loyal to us - your trust means a lot to us! A lot will stay the same, but you will certainly also discover a lot of new things and we warmly invite you to experience this with an open mind.
Every owner runs a business in his or her own way, bringing new perspectives, strengths and sometimes challenges.
Get involved – we look forward to spending time together.
You can find our detailed cancellation conditions here in our terms and conditions . Here is a brief overview:
After booking, 50% of the travel costs are due as a deposit. If you cancel your stay up to 4 weeks before arrival, only this deposit will be retained. Alternatively, you have the option of postponing your stay once to another date in the current calendar year up to 4 weeks before arrival. Unfortunately, we can no longer accept cancellations or postponements from 4 weeks before arrival. In this case, as well as in the event of a no-show, the entire travel price is due.
We know that something can always come up - whether it's illness, a broken vehicle or short-term work commitments. However, as a small place, we cannot cover such cases. Therefore, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance to protect your vacation. Our favorite: annual travel cancellation insurance, which will take care of the issue for a year.

Eat
Nope.
Sure, we like fries every now and then. However, we don't see fries as a staple food and we don't see ourselves as a swimming pool kiosk. We focus on regional dishes that are prepared with lots of love. Instead of fries, you'll find honest Allgäu specialties and tasty snacks here - try it out, it's worth it!
And if the craving for fries gets too big, we'll tell you where you can get the next ones within walking distance ;)
Our small menu offers hearty, regional snacks, homemade cakes and a fine selection of drinks - all prepared by us and made from the best ingredients. A highlight is our Alpen Pinsa, a type of rustic pizza with local ingredients as a topping, which you should definitely try.
You will almost always find a vegetarian option with us. Unfortunately, vegan and gluten-free alternatives are not always possible on our small menu - demand is simply too low in the Allgäu region, which relies on cheese and carbohydrates for its staple foods.
Just talk to us, we are always happy to find a suitable solution :)
Yes, the cakes are homemade - by us! As much as we love eating them, we also bake them ;) And every now and then we get a lot of help from our moms.
Our menu is deliberately small - and there are good reasons for that. Firstly, we always want to offer you fresh, homemade and regional dishes. A larger selection would mean compromising on quality - and that is out of the question for us.
From our experience in the catering industry, we know that, particularly in weather-dependent restaurants, many goods are either thrown away or frozen products have to be used. Both of these things contradict our claim, as sustainability for us does not stop at electricity. That is why we have put together a coherent, regional and sustainable shopping basket.
Every now and then we add a few seasonal specials to the menu – so it always stays exciting and delicious!
We accept reservations for groups of 8 or more people - the best way to do this is to send us an email to info@waldbad-isny.de the day before at the latest. For everyone else: just drop by, we look forward to seeing you!
During opening hours you will find us directly behind the counter. Outside of these times the best way to reach us is by email: info@waldbad-isny.de. Since there are three of us managing the entire forest pool and we are often out and about on site, we are unfortunately unable to man the telephone all the time. Thank you for your understanding!
Definitely. The JÂGER+KLAUBER is a great location for relaxed celebrations and meetings, whether private or business, rustic, casual or somewhere in between. Just write to us at info@waldbad-isny.de and we'll talk about it.
Here you can find our terms and conditions for rentals.
The restaurant at the Waldbad is run by us, Isabel, Christoph and Aaron. With great attention to detail, we have given the cozy restaurant a new look. Since we have all had one foot in the restaurant business during our careers, it was clear to us: we'll do it ourselves!
The name JÂGER+KLAUBER does not come from our last names, as many assume, but reflects the connection between tradition and nature. "Jâger" stands for the hunter who roams the forest and for the meat components on the menu, and "Klauber" is an old term for someone who collects fruit, herbs or mushrooms from nature and thus stands for the vegetarian side. Together they combine what our gastronomy stands for: regional products, nature-loving craftsmanship and a piece of Allgäu.
Camp // Rental Accommodations
Please use our online booking tool to ensure that we receive all the information we need from you and that the payment process is straightforward. This way you can also check availability and complete your booking as quickly as possible.
If we are very busy, we are unable to process inquiries by phone or email as a priority, so we recommend booking online.
Groups of 8 or more people must register in advance and please contact us directly by email.
This depends entirely on your personal requirements for your accommodation, as well as the number of people and your budget.
For those who are happy with simpler accommodation, shepherd's wagons and sleeping barrels may be the best option
If you don't want to do without your own bathroom and (small) cooking facilities, you're probably better off in a log cabin, holiday home or holiday apartment.
The price includes exclusive use of the holiday accommodation as well as additional costs such as electricity and water.
You can find out how many people are already included in the respective property in the description.
For log cabins, holiday homes and apartments, Wi-Fi is also included.
The use of the bathing lake as well as the environmental fee and the final cleaning are already covered by the final price. The tourist tax, which the spa town of Isny charges, is shown separately.
You can find the exact amenities for each accommodation type on the subpage of the rental accommodation.
Upon arrival, we ask you to pay a cash deposit at reception. The amount is:
150,- € for log cabins, the holiday apartment and the holiday home
75,- € for the sleeping barrel and the shepherd's wagon
On the day of departure, a team member will accompany you to inspect your accommodation. If everything has been left clean and there is no damage, you will receive the deposit back directly when you check out.
The rental units must be left clean on the day of departure. This includes: sweeping/vacuuming, wiping if very dirty, emptying and cleaning the refrigerator, taking out the rubbish, washing and putting away the dishes, cleaning the bathroom, stripping the beds. During your stay, air the room regularly and water the flowers (if there are any). Otherwise, we reserve the right to keep the deposit.
Bed linen and towels are not included in the rental price. If you don't want to bring your own, you can easily book them when you make your reservation.
Please report to reception upon arrival; self-check-in at the terminal is only available for camping guests due to the key handover.
Check-in: from 3 p.m. on the day of arrival, during reception opening hours.
Check-out: on the day of departure by 10 a.m., after the accommodation has been inspected by our team.
Unfortunately, an earlier check-in is usually not possible as we need the time to thoroughly clean the accommodation. You are welcome to ask us, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out.
Early check-in can be requested in the low season (for a fee) two days before arrival.
If you arrive outside reception opening hours, please let us know in advance by email to booking@waldbad-isny.de. We will then coordinate the key handover together so that everything runs smoothly.
Late check-out is possible in the low season, subject to availability, for a fee. This can be requested at short notice the day before departure. Just talk to us and we'll see if it works.
For most people, everything in our rules is self-evident, for everyone else, we have summarized it again.
Link to game rulesYou can find our terms and conditions here.
In any case, up to a maximum of 2 dogs per holiday accommodation are very welcome! When choosing your accommodation, make sure that pets are not allowed in the sleeping barrel or in the holiday apartment. The basic requirement is that the four-legged friends are kept on a leash throughout the entire property and that their droppings are completely removed, not only on the property but also on the lovely walking paths.
No, smoking is not permitted in any of our holiday accommodations. This is for the comfort of all guests and to preserve the premises. You can of course smoke outside - please dispose of cigarette butts carefully and with respect for nature and wildlife.
