⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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.

*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
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 Savinja River flows through central Slovenia, originating in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and passing through valleys and towns such as Celje. Being an alpine river in its upper course, the water remains cool throughout the year. In the summer months, from June to August, surface temperatures in calmer, shallow areas usually reach 18–22°C, while in faster or deeper sections the water stays around 12–16°C. In spring and autumn, temperatures typically range from 10–14°C, and in winter they can drop to 4–6°C.
Swimming in the Savinja is possible, mainly in slower and shallower sections or in natural pools formed along the river. These areas are popular with locals and visitors seeking a refreshing dip on hot days. Caution is advised in sections with stronger currents or rocky riverbeds. Canoeing and kayaking are also popular summer activities along the river.
Outside of summer, swimming is less common due to cooler temperatures and stronger currents. The Savinja remains attractive for walking, cycling along the riverbanks, and enjoying the surrounding natural scenery. Even a short summer dip provides a refreshing break and an enjoyable way to cool off.
