The Ahr River, a tributary of the Rhine, flows through the scenic Ahr Valley in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. The river's water temperature varies with the seasons, typically ranging between 5°C and 20°C (41°F to 68°F). During the summer, the water reaches its warmest temperatures, making it more appealing for recreational activities, while in winter, it remains cold and less suitable for such activities.
