The Eger River, known as the Ohře in Czech, flows through parts of eastern Germany, primarily in Bavaria, before entering the Czech Republic. The river features a cool temperature profile typical of mountain-fed systems, with water temperatures in summer generally ranging between 12–18°C, depending on local conditions and weather patterns. This makes the Eger a refreshing spot but potentially too cold for extended swimming sessions for some individuals.
Swimming in the Eger is not a common activity, as the river's primary appeal lies in its scenic surroundings and opportunities for other recreational pursuits like hiking and fishing. While certain stretches of the river may allow for wading or brief dips, it is not officially designated as a swimming river. Visitors should always take precautions, as natural rivers like the Eger may have strong currents, uneven riverbeds, and varying depths, which can pose risks to swimmers.
