The Warche is a river that flows through the Ardennes region of Belgium, particularly in the province of Liège. Originating in the high, forested hills of the Ardennes, the water in the Warche remains cool and clear year-round, with typical temperatures ranging from 6°C (43°F) in the winter to around 12°C (54°F) in the summer months. These temperatures make the river quite cold, which can be refreshing for a short swim but not ideal for longer periods of swimming, especially without proper acclimatization. The river's flow is often fast, and the bed is rocky, so swimming can be challenging in most areas.

Despite the cooler temperatures and the challenging currents, there are some spots along the Warche that can offer a brief, refreshing dip, particularly in calmer sections or shallow pools. These opportunities are more common after periods of less rainfall when the river's flow is gentler. However, the Warche is not typically known as a popular swimming destination. Instead, it is more frequented by nature lovers for activities such as hiking, fishing, and kayaking, as the river meanders through a beautiful natural landscape.
