*** 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.

The Hörsel River, located in the Thuringia region of Germany, is a smaller tributary of the Werra. It flows through a picturesque landscape, with its water temperatures typically ranging between 6°C (43°F) in the winter and 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F) in the summer. While the river is generally not very deep, some sections can be swift, especially after rainfall or during the spring melt. This makes it essential for swimmers to be cautious, as the current can be strong in parts of the river, posing a challenge to safe swimming. It is recommended to swim in calmer stretches of the river where the water is clearer and flows more gently.
In general, the Hörsel River is considered safe for swimming during the warmer months when the water temperature is more inviting. However, the water quality can vary depending on local agricultural runoff, so it is important for swimmers to check for any water quality advisories before entering the river. In some areas, particularly around populated regions, the river may have more pollution, which could affect the experience of swimming. Still, the natural surroundings offer a beautiful setting for outdoor activities, and the river remains a popular spot for casual swimmers during summer.
