*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.

Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information

Rachelsee is a picturesque mountain lake located in the Bavarian Forest (Bayerischer Wald) in southern Germany, near the town of Bayerisch Eisenstein. This serene and relatively secluded lake sits at an elevation of around 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), surrounded by dense forests and the stunning mountain landscape. The lake is known for its crystal-clear waters and tranquil setting, making it a popular spot for outdoor activities, including hiking and nature walks. While Rachelsee is not a typical destination for swimmers due to its remote location and colder water temperatures, it does attract those looking to enjoy its pristine beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

The water temperature in Rachelsee can be quite cold throughout most of the year, particularly due to its altitude. In the summer months, particularly in July and August, the water temperature can reach a maximum of around 18°C to 20°C (64°F to 68°F), which can be refreshing for adventurous swimmers but may feel chilly for others. During the spring and autumn months, the water temperature typically stays much cooler, ranging from 10°C to 14°C (50°F to 57°F), making it less inviting for swimming. Due to the lake's location in the Bavarian Forest, it is more suitable for those interested in enjoying the landscape, fishing, or just experiencing the tranquility of the area, rather than for regular swimming.
