Tuborg-shaped swimming pool at Roskilde Festival
Posted by PP on 11/06/10
Previous NextThere will be a Tuborg-shaped swimming pool behind the Orange Stage at this year's Roskilde Festival. Check it out:
512,000 litres of water at the festival site
Tuborg's Green Pool, which is shaped like a Tuborg label and is up to three metres deep, will be located centrally at the festival site in the Culture Zone area, right behind the grandstand at Orange Stage. The pool measures 25 x 17.5 meters and holds 512,000 litres of water, kept fresh by a CO2-neutral treatment system.
You must give to get
Tuborg's Green Pool is CO2-neutral and gets no power from 'the outside'. You must give to get. Everyone must provide an energy ratio on the custom-built fitness bicycles in order to get access to the pool area where you can dive right into the refreshing water and relax in deck chairs in a nice lounge area. We provide access to changing rooms and showers and you can buy swimwear and towels.
The foot-operated bicycle power is supplemented by rape generators, biofuel cells and solar cells that keep the water temperature at 28-30 degrees and operate the CO2-neutral treatment system that keeps the water fresh in the opening days of the festival site from Thursday to Sunday.
