*** 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 Ilm is a river located in central Germany, flowing through the Thuringia region. It is a relatively small river, but it is popular for recreational activities such as hiking, cycling, and swimming, particularly in its calmer sections. The water temperature in the Ilm River varies depending on the season. In the colder months, it can drop to around 4-6°C (39-43°F), while during the summer, temperatures rise to more comfortable levels, reaching 18-22°C (64-72°F). These warmer temperatures, especially in July and August, make it more suitable for swimming, offering a refreshing way to cool down on hot summer days.
Swimming in the Ilm is generally safe in areas with moderate currents and good water quality. The river is not very deep, making it ideal for swimming in sections with clear, shallow water. However, swimmers should be cautious in areas with stronger currents or sudden depth changes. The Ilm's natural beauty and peaceful environment add to the experience, making it a pleasant spot for outdoor activities. While the Ilm may not be as widely known for swimming as some larger rivers, it offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy nature and relax in a tranquil setting.
