EN: Gartenbad St. Jakob (or just "Joggeli") is at the Eastern border of Basel just opposite the Football stadium. Although it has a Basel postal address it is in fact located on the soil of neighboring Münchenstein.
The main diving platform tower is in the northern part of the area and also easy to observe from outside of the area. The tower has platforms on 5, 7 and 10 meters. There is also a 3 meter platform on the opposite side of the pool, but this is not visible from the outside.
