❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges less than 41°F (5°C). Such water is extremely cold and not recommended for swimming without proper preparation. In these conditions, the risk of hypothermia is very high, and prolonged exposure to the water can be hazardous to your health. If you decide to swim, it is important to have the appropriate gear, such as a wetsuit. Typically, only experienced swimmers or those who practice winter swimming venture into such waters. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

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 Our River, flowing through Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany, is a scenic and natural waterway that spans across three countries, offering an excellent location for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The river originates in the Belgian Ardennes and flows through Luxembourg before crossing into Germany, offering a variety of landscapes along its course. During the summer months, the water temperature of the Our River typically ranges from 14°C to 18°C (57°F to 64°F), providing a refreshing swim, especially in the warmer regions of the river where the water is calmer and shallower. However, in the cooler months, especially during the spring and autumn, the temperature drops significantly, making swimming less comfortable as the water can become quite cold.
Swimming in the Our River is permitted in certain areas, though caution is advised due to the variable current and depth. The river can have sections with fast-moving water, rapids, and rocky bottoms, making it important to only swim in designated and safe areas. In Luxembourg, there are several spots where the river is calmer and suitable for recreational swimming, but it is always best to check with local authorities or guides for up-to-date safety information. The clear waters and surrounding natural beauty make it an attractive destination for swimming and other water activities, but swimmers should always prioritize safety and respect the natural environment.
