Length 120 km (75 mi)
The Dommel River flows from Belgium through the Dutch province of North Brabant, passing through cities like Eindhoven and 's-Hertogenbosch before joining the Dieze River. In the summer, water temperatures in the Dommel can range from around 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F). However, swimming in the Dommel is generally discouraged due to variable water quality. The river passes through both rural and urban areas, and agricultural runoff, as well as wastewater from nearby towns, can impact the cleanliness of the water. Additionally, there are no officially designated swimming zones along the Dommel, and water flow in certain sections can be relatively swift, increasing safety risks.
Despite swimming limitations, the Dommel offers recreational opportunities like canoeing and riverside cycling. Local authorities monitor water quality and post advisories if necessary, but swimming remains rare due to health considerations. For those interested in swimming, there are nearby lakes and recreational ponds in North Brabant and Limburg with dedicated swimming areas and water quality monitoring.
