Westbad Regensburg Hosts Sun Protection Awareness Event
A recent event near me at the Westbad in Regensburg focused on educating visitors about UV and sun protection. The initiative, supported by local authorities and health organizations, aims to raise awareness about the importance of sun protection, especially in outdoor leisure areas.
The event at the Westbad offered practical tips on sun protection tailored to different skin types. Visitors learned about the UV index (UVI), which indicates the expected peak value of sunburn-effective UV radiation during the day. Higher UVI values signal the need for increased sun protection measures.
The initiative, backed by the AOK Regensburg and Gesundheitsregionplus Regensburg, encourages the use of sunscreen, seeking shade, wearing hats and sunglasses, and staying hydrated. Staying in the shade can reduce UV radiation by up to 50 percent, making it a crucial part of sun protection strategies. The event also highlighted the importance of monitoring one's own skin health.
In August 2025, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) will install a UV index display at the Westbad. This board will provide clear instructions on sun protection and can be accessed via a QR code for daily updates. The initiative is supported by Mayor Gertrud Maltz-Schwarzfischer and Manfred Koller, managing director of the municipal utility operating the Westbad.
The Westbad's information day successfully raised awareness about sun protection, with visitors learning about the UV index and practical sun protection measures. The upcoming UV index display will further enhance sun safety at the Westbad. Further information on sun and heat protection is available from the Gesundheitsregion plus - Stadt und Landkreis Regensburg and the AOK Bayern Direktion Regensburg-Neumarkt.
