Floating obstacle course on Weißenstädter See in the Fichtelgebirge
In the middle of the Fichtelgebirge, one of Bavaria's most famous low mountain ranges, lies Weißenstädter See – an artificially created natural bathing lake at the foot of the Schneeberg (1,051 m). Directly on the shore is the Siebenquell GesundZeitResort, a modern wellness and thermal spa resort that has hosted the Aqua Games here every summer since 2018. A floating obstacle course (Wibit course) is set up on the lake, where participants cross beams, climb through tunnels, tackle trampolines and swing ropes, and often fall into the water at the end.
Since its premiere in 2018, the festival format has followed the same well-proven scheme:
The Siebenquell GesundZeitResort is one of the most ambitious wellness resorts in northern Bavaria. It combines a thermal spa, sauna world, wellness hotel, and restaurant under one roof and utilizes the healing springs around Weißenstadt. The Aqua Games are the resort's most prominent summer event and attract guests from all over the Fichtelgebirge, Upper Franconia, and the Upper Palatinate. The direct access from the resort to the lake makes the event logistics particularly elegant – changing rooms, showers, and catering are just a few steps away.
With around 3,000 inhabitants, Weißenstadt is a very small town in Upper Franconia in the district of Wunsiedel im Fichtelgebirge, but it has regional appeal due to its thermal spa, lake, and hiking opportunities. It is located between Bayreuth and the Czech border, just a few kilometers from the Schneeberg, the highest mountain in the Fichtelgebirge.
In 2026, the Siebenquell Resort will host the third edition of its Aqua Games (following the premiere in 2018 and subsequent editions). The format remains the same: Family Days for free play on the course, team competition on Sunday, and an evening after-show party at the resort.
Wibit obstacle course on Weißenstädter See, entertainment around the lake, catering by the Siebenquell Resort, and evening sauna and thermal spa offers at the hotel. Detailed information on the daily program and prices will be published by the resort shortly before the event.
