The Eau Rouge is a small river that flows through the Ardennes in southern Belgium, particularly in the province of Liège. The river is known for its clear, cool waters, which are fed by the surrounding forests and hills. Due to its mountain origins, the water temperature remains low throughout the year, typically ranging from 6°C (43°F) to 12°C (54°F), even in the warmer summer months. This makes the river refreshing for a quick swim but not ideal for prolonged swimming without acclimatization to the cold. The presence of rocky and uneven riverbeds, as well as the current, further limits the comfort and safety of swimming in the Eau Rouge.
Although not a widely recognized swimming destination, the Eau Rouge can offer isolated spots for a swim, particularly in calmer areas or pools formed by rocks. However, these opportunities are rare, as much of the river is fast-flowing and surrounded by dense forest, which can make access difficult. Those looking to enjoy the river should consider alternative activities like fishing, kayaking, or hiking along the scenic riverbanks, which are popular due to the picturesque surroundings and the tranquil atmosphere.
