The Lippe River, flowing through North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is a 220-kilometer-long tributary of the Rhine. Originating in Bad Lippspringe near Paderborn, the river meanders through scenic landscapes and several towns before reaching the Rhine near Wesel. The Lippe’s water temperature ranges from about 3-8°C (37-46°F) in winter to 15-22°C (59-72°F) during the summer months, depending on weather and flow conditions. These moderate temperatures make the river suitable for various recreational activities.

Swimming in the Lippe is possible in some stretches but not widely practiced due to variable water quality and the presence of boat traffic. Many sections of the river are used for leisure activities such as kayaking, fishing, and nature walks. Swimming is generally advised in designated areas or natural swimming lakes nearby, as water quality can be impacted by agricultural runoff. Local authorities provide water quality updates, and it is essential to follow these guidelines to ensure safe swimming experiences.
