- The air temperature in the catchment area is 8 to 10 degrees Celsius on an annual average.
- During the bathing season (June to August) from 2000 to 2009, the water temperature was around an average of 22.7 degrees Celsius with a maximum of 29.9 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 17.9 degrees Celsius.
The approximately five hectare leisure area includes a. a beach volleyball court (since 1999), a water trampoline , a bathing island and a children's playground.
