The Moder River, flowing through the Alsace region in northeastern France, offers a serene environment and runs through picturesque towns like Haguenau before joining the Rhine. Water temperatures in the Moder are influenced by seasonal changes, typically staying cool to moderately warm. In spring and early summer, temperatures can vary between 10-15°C (50-59°F), warming up to about 18-22°C (64-72°F) during the peak summer months. These temperatures make the Moder suitable for occasional swimming, though the river’s relatively narrow flow and variable depth mean that specific swimming areas may be limited.
Swimming is possible in certain calmer sections of the Moder, but it’s generally not a major recreational focus due to factors like current speed, water depth, and sometimes limited accessibility along the banks. Local authorities and environmental organizations monitor water quality, as the Moder’s surroundings include agricultural lands that can affect clarity and safety, especially after heavy rainfalls. For those interested in water activities, nearby lakes or more established swimming areas within Alsace might provide more predictable conditions.
