Festival of lights at the Okerteich forest swimming pool in Altenau

On 2 August 2025, you can once again look forward to a great evening at the Okerteich forest swimming pool with family and friends. For the 26th time, the Okerteich Altenau will shine with hundreds of candles and lights. At around 9 p.m., we will set out ships of light on the Okerteich together with the young and old light fans. The ships are free for children with admission.

Ships of light can also be purchased on site. The festival of lights will be accompanied by a variety of live music. A DJ will also provide lively musical entertainment. Food and drink will also be provided with a variety of regional savoury and sweet dishes as well as regional drinks and mixed drinks. More information will follow!

The Okerteich shines in the splendour of the lights

In addition to impressive illuminations in a special romantic atmosphere, a varied musical programme awaits all visitors. A laser show over the Okerteich pond is the highlight of the evening.

A new feature is a path of lights around the pond , which will also be illuminated from around 9 pm. Guests will find various light installations and creative lighting elements around the Okerteich. At dusk, these invite visitors to take a short walk with breaks and amaze them. The stations will also be suitable for souvenir photos.
