This dive site, Liafels on Lake Millstätter See, offers two distinct diving routes accessible from a comfortable shore entry point located at a small car park on the north shore. Divers can explore a combination of strong aquatic vegetation in the shallower areas and a striking steep face that descends to deeper sections. While no specific historical events or stories are mentioned, the site is known for its clear underwater topography.
The diverse aquatic environment at Liafels provides an excellent habitat for various marine animals. Divers frequently encounter large predatory fish such as pike and catfish. The site is also home to numerous crabs and different species of perch. The dense vegetation along the shore acts as an ideal hiding and breeding ground, supporting a rich ecosystem for both larger and smaller aquatic life.
The best time to visit this freshwater dive site is typically during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally good. It is suitable for divers of all levels, including beginners, due to its easy access and moderate maximum depth. Freedivers will also appreciate the clear visibility and the opportunity to explore the steep face and observe fish life.
