Over 50 percent of the town of Sankt Ingbert (also written St. Ingbert) is covered in lush forest. If you are looking for a little outdoor adventure, grab a mountain bike and head out on one of the many trails that meander through the woods. The paths also serve for when you’re looking for some more leisurely activity in the form of walking and taking in the beautiful surroundings.
St. Ingbert also houses a beautiful year round stainless steel pool called Das Blau which translates to “The Blue.” Adults pay up to 7 EUR to enter and can then enjoy frolicking about in the sparkling blue water. Whether swimming laps or playing Marco Polo, Das Blau provides you with some wonderful aquatic relaxation.
The town is actually a part of the biosphere reservation Bliesgau. Learn how the biosphere seeks to develop exemplary environmental regions and what unique qualities the area possesses. This biosphere is the very first industrially shaped model region in the world, making Sankt Ingbert quite the environmentally ground breaking little town.
After a heavy dose of nature you can head into town for some wonderful shopping in the city center or perhaps a trip to one of the town’s several museums. The art found in these reveal the urban industrial culture that lies at the root of St. Ingbert.
The downtown area also has plenty of options to satisfy desires for music, literature, or theater that may overcome you.
If you’re a Jazz fan you should make a note to stop into town during the months of February and March in order to catch the International Jazz Festival. The event has been an annual occurrence since 1986 and is an experience that should not be missed. The festival spans an entire week and is filled with talented jazz musicians hailing from both Germany and abroad.
