The Leine River, which flows through Lower Saxony and parts of Hesse in Germany, is an attractive location for recreational activities, including swimming, especially during the warmer months. The river's water temperature during summer typically ranges from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making it suitable for cooling off during hot days. In some areas, especially near towns like Göttingen, there are designated swimming spots where the current is calm, and the water quality is generally good for recreational use. The river offers various access points for outdoor activities such as kayaking, boating, and swimming, with popular locations like the Leine Meadows providing safe spaces for both locals and tourists to enjoy the river.

However, like many rivers in Germany, the water temperature in the Leine can fluctuate significantly, particularly in the spring and fall. During these seasons, the water temperature drops to around 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), which may be too cold for comfort for extended swimming sessions. Additionally, the river's flow rate varies depending on rainfall, with faster currents potentially making swimming more challenging or even dangerous. As with any natural body of water, it is advisable to check local conditions before swimming to ensure safety, particularly after heavy rain or during the colder months.
