Water Temperature in Metnitz River: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

The Metnitz River, located in the Austrian state of Carinthia, flows through the scenic Metnitz Valley before joining the Gurk River. Originating in the Gurktal Alps, the Metnitz is a small mountain river characterized by its clear waters and tranquil surroundings. Due to its alpine origin, the Metnitz remains relatively cool throughout the year. In the summer months, water temperatures in its lower sections can reach 15°C to 18°C (59°F to 64°F), while in higher altitudes, the temperature often stays below 12°C (54°F), making extended swimming less appealing.

Swimming in the Metnitz is uncommon, primarily because of its cooler temperatures and the river’s modest size. However, shallow areas of the river are suitable for wading or briefly cooling off during hot summer days. The Metnitz is more popular for activities like hiking, fishing, and enjoying the unspoiled natural environment. For those seeking warmer waters for swimming, nearby lakes or public pools in Carinthia provide better options.
