Information on the current water level of the Bodensee-Vorarlberg-Region.
The current water level of the Bodensee at the Bregenz measuring point is 2.85 metres. This means the water level is below the long-term average for this time of year.
Up-to-date and detailed measurements for the region can be accessed directly via the Vorarlberg water level service.
Are you currently in Vorarlberg on the Bodensee, or are you planning a visit to our region and have questions about which (water) activities are available? We’ve looked into it for you.
The current water level has no impact on scheduled boat services. All jetties and harbours are accessible. You can find the latest updates on the Vorarlberg Lines website.
The low water level is not currently affecting swimming. Swimming is still possible without any problems at most bathing spots. However, depending on the shoreline, the walk out to deeper water may be slightly longer.
Stand-up paddleboarding and boating are still possible at present, although there are already some restrictions on boat hire due to the exceptionally low water levels. At certain locations, access points, boat facilities or harbours may only be available to a limited extent. We therefore recommend that you check the current situation and availability directly with the relevant boat hire company in advance.
