Water temperature…
Located at the highly fascinating transition from the vast Baar plateau to the rugged volcanic landscape of the Hegau, the inviting small town of Geisingen is perfectly situated in the idyllic valley of the young Danube River. True nature lovers are drawn to this unique region primarily because of its spectacular geographical features: just a few kilometers away lies the famous Danube Sinkhole, a globally unique natural phenomenon where the river water almost entirely disappears into the porous limestone of the riverbed, only to continue its journey completely underground. The welcoming and authentic townscape of Geisingen itself is deeply characterized by carefully preserved historical buildings and narrow, winding ancient alleys, watched over by the quiet remnants of old fortifications. In recent years, however, the town has also made a massive name for itself as an ultra-modern mecca for top-level international sports: the truly impressive Arena Geisingen is Germany's first and only fully indoor inline skating track, regularly attracting both world-class professional athletes and enthusiastic recreational skaters from all over the globe to this otherwise tranquil town. Surrounded by extensive pristine nature reserves, Geisingen has fantastic conditions for scenic hikes and relaxed cycling tours.
