Seebad Caputh

This place is improving over time. It is comfortable and well-organized. The staff is extremely friendly! The water may not be the clearest, but it's still alright. I only gave it 3 stars because when we went with our family, there was nothing at the restaurant for kids. Not even ice cream. They only offered spaghetti with oil, which was disappointing. Furthermore, it is quite expensive, so considering the price of the services and entrance, they should include more appealing options on the menu for the little ones.
