Water Temperature in Neumünster: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Neumünster is located in the province of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It is an urban municipality that sits in proximity to the Schwale River. This river streams through the city center from north to south and ultimately drains into the Stör River, creating a natural park-like region around its course, which adds to the overall attractiveness of the city.

While the Schwale River provides for a beautiful aesthetic view, there's little information publicly available about its specific water temperature. Given that Neumünster's average temperatures range from 0-2°C in winter and 17-20°C in summer, one could infer that the Schwale River's temperature generally aligns with the city's ambient temperature, with the water likely getting quite cold during winter months. Regarding swimming, though the city is a destination for outdoor enthusiasts, it doesn't seem that the Schwale River is commonly used for swimming, this could be due to potential rapid currents, its depth, regional laws or just public preference. However, in the surrounding Schleswig-Holstein region, there are numerous lakes, such as Einfelder See, which can serve as swimming spots during the warmer months. As always, before swimming in any natural bodies of water, it would be recommended to check the local guidelines and regulations relating to safety and water quality.
