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
Rappensee is a stunning mountain lake located in the Allgäu region of southern Germany, near the border with Austria. It is a high-altitude lake, situated at around 1,220 meters above sea level, which gives it a unique, refreshing atmosphere. The lake is surrounded by impressive alpine scenery, making it a popular spot for hiking and nature enthusiasts. While the lake is not as developed for recreational activities as some other lakes, it still attracts visitors who enjoy its unspoiled beauty and the opportunity for swimming, especially during the warmer months.
Due to its high-altitude location, the water temperature in Rappensee remains quite cool even in the summer. In the peak of the season, typically in July and August, the water temperature may reach around 14°C to 16°C (57°F to 61°F), which is relatively cold for swimming but still tolerable for some, especially those used to cooler water. The lake is also quite deep, which contributes to its colder temperatures and slower warming process. For those seeking a more refreshing swimming experience, Rappensee is a unique and invigorating destination, though swimmers should be prepared for colder conditions than lakes at lower altitudes.
