Water Temperature in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, located in southern Austria, is known for its proximity to the Wörthersee, a beautiful lake popular for swimming and water sports. The city is also situated along the Gurk River, which flows through the area. The water temperature of the Gurk River varies throughout the year, generally ranging from 4°C to 15°C (39°F to 59°F), depending on the season. In the summer, the water temperature can rise to around 18°C to 20°C (64°F to 68°F), but it is typically cooler than the Wörthersee, due to the river's faster flow and colder upstream sources from the Alps.

While the Gurk River itself is not commonly used for swimming due to its colder temperatures and faster current, the Wörthersee, located nearby, offers much better opportunities for recreational swimming, especially in the summer. The Wörthersee is known for its pleasant water temperature, which can reach up to 24°C (75°F) in peak summer, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy various water activities. The combination of the river and the lake makes Klagenfurt an attractive destination for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts.
