Summer, sun, Main. With the hot temperatures of the last few weeks, one or the other bather also likes to cool down and go to the Main. Understandable, with a water temperature of 25 degrees.
Statistics from the German Life Saving Society, DLRG for short, show that bathing in the Main and other bathing lakes should not be underestimated. According to this, around 60 people died in Bavaria last year.
That is why the water police have published rules of conduct:
- Do not swim near locks, harbors or bridges
- Don’t hinder ships
For rowers/SUP applies: - stay close to shore
- Pay attention to blind spots of boats
- Think about exposure at night
- As in road traffic, the blood alcohol limit is 0.5
