Dreiweieren, St. Gallen, Switzerland

Drei Weieren is the name of a local recreation area in the city of St. Gallen, in the St. Georgen district. The five artificially created ponds are located south of the old town on the slopes of Freudenberg and serve as public outdoor pools in summer and occasionally for ice skating in winter. They are easily accessible through the Mühleggbahn. In addition, in summer, when the weather is good, the so-called 'bathing bus' of the St. Gallen public transport company runs from the train station via Marktplatz to the entrance of the so-called Frauenweiher. The name Dreilinden, which comes from a former farm in the area, is now used synonymously.
