*** 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
Wild Lake (Divje jezero) near Idrija is a karstic spring lake with an extraordinary depth and very cold water. Even in the warmest months of the year, the temperature barely reaches 10–12°C, and for most of the time it stays closer to 6–9°C. Because the lake is fed directly by underground springs, it does not warm up in summer the way other lakes do.
Swimming in Wild Lake is not recommended, both due to its low temperature and because it is a protected natural monument. The water is crystal clear but icy, and only the bravest occasionally try a very quick dip. For most visitors, the main attraction is the unique scenery, the mysterious depth of the spring, and the hiking paths around it rather than bathing.
