Water Temperature in Sonthofen: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Sonthofen, located in Bavaria, Germany, is sited on the picturesque Iller River. The water temperature within the Iller River tends to differ based on the seasons and the local climate. In the warmer months, typically during summer (June - August), the water temperature in this river can range from 15°C to 20°C. In winter (December - February), temperatures can drop below freezing, making the river fairly icy and unsuitable for swimming. Therefore, like many freshwater bodies in the region, you'll note that the Iller River's temperature varies significantly with the changing seasons.

In terms of swimming, it is possible to swim in the Iller River, especially during the sunny, warm summer months when the water temperature is relatively higher than in other seasons. However, swimmers should be cautionary and aware of the river's current and depth. The river has sections of calm, slow-moving water which could be ideal for swimming, but there are also parts with stronger currents which are less suitable for swimming. It is recommended to choose well-known swimming spots, and only attempt independent swimming if you are an experienced swimmer. Also, keeping updated about weather conditions is crucial since these can rapidly influence the river's currents and water level. As always, the focus should be on safety when swimming in natural bodies of water.
