The Spree River, one of the major waterways in Germany, flows through Berlin and several other regions, offering various opportunities for recreational activities, including swimming. The water temperature in the Spree can vary significantly depending on the season. In the summer months, water temperatures often reach around 18°C to 22°C, making it suitable for swimming, especially in designated swimming areas or calmer sections of the river. Some areas of the Spree, particularly in Berlin, feature well-maintained riverbanks with swimming zones that attract locals and tourists alike. However, these temperatures can drop considerably in the cooler months, sometimes falling below 10°C, which would make swimming hazardous.

The Spree’s water quality, influenced by factors such as industrial use and local sewage systems, has generally improved over the years. However, it is important for swimmers to be mindful of water conditions, as after heavy rainfall or certain industrial discharges, water quality may temporarily drop. Most swimming in the Spree occurs in areas designated for recreation, such as public beaches or artificial bathing zones, where water temperature and cleanliness are monitored. Swimming in the open sections of the river without clear regulations is not advised due to safety concerns, such as water currents and debris.
