❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. 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 Volme River is a tributary of the Ruhr River, flowing through North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. With a length of approximately 50 kilometers, it passes through cities like Hagen and Lüdenscheid. The Volme's water temperature varies seasonally, ranging from around 4-8°C (39-46°F) in winter to 15-20°C (59-68°F) in summer, influenced by regional climate and the flow of water from tributaries and rainfall.
Swimming in the Volme is generally not recommended or common due to the river's size, depth, and water quality, which can be affected by urban runoff and occasional pollution. However, the river and its surroundings are popular for recreational activities such as walking, cycling, and picnicking along its banks. Those seeking swimming opportunities are encouraged to visit nearby swimming pools or designated bathing lakes in the region.
