In Boppard-Buchenau were once found municipal indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The outdoor pool was completed in 1962 and the indoor in 1973. Owing to acute demand for renovation, the outdoor pool ceased to be opened in 2009. For the same reason, the same was done with the indoor pool the following year. With the investor monte mare, the town of Boppard has negotiated a plan to build a new swimming pool. The new complex, if built, is to be called "Römer-Therme Monte Mare" and is to be fed with hot mineral water, which has already been successfully tapped. The town council, however, postponed the date for the onset of construction indefinitely in early December 2009.
