The Wurm River, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is a small and scenic tributary of the Rur River, stretching approximately 53 kilometers. The river originates in Aachen and flows through several picturesque towns before joining the Rur. The Wurm's water temperature varies with the seasons, typically ranging from 4-8°C (39-46°F) in winter to around 16-20°C (61-68°F) during summer months. Its flow is influenced by both natural sources and treated wastewater, which slightly affects water quality and temperature consistency.

Swimming in the Wurm is generally not a common activity due to its relatively small size, cool water temperatures, and variable water quality. However, certain stretches of the river are popular for recreational activities such as walking, cycling, and picnicking along the banks. While the Wurm might not be ideal for full swimming, locals occasionally wade into shallow areas to cool off during warmer days. Before swimming, it is essential to check water quality reports and adhere to local guidelines to ensure safety and environmental conservation.
