This dive site, known as Schlossvilla Wreck, is located on the picturesque south shore of Millstätter See in Austria. The primary attraction is a wreck, which the description notes is found at 32-36m, though the maximum stated site depth is 27 meters. Access to the site is regulated, requiring information from Tauchshop Klagenfurt. Navigation typically involves descending to the wreck, which provides a unique structure in the freshwater environment, while shallower areas offer easier exploration.
The dive site is rich in freshwater marine life, particularly in its shallower areas. Divers can expect to encounter numerous carp and pike, especially near the shore. Between 3 and 8 meters water depth, strong vegetation provides a habitat for various young fish, offering opportunities for observing juvenile species and smaller aquatic creatures.
The best time to visit this dive site would likely be during the warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility in freshwater lakes is generally better. The shallow areas are highly suitable for snorkelers and freedivers, with abundant fish life and vegetation. For scuba divers, exploring the wreck and its immediate surroundings offers a challenging yet rewarding experience. Due to regulated access, it's essential to plan ahead and obtain necessary information from Tauchshop Klagenfurt before visiting.
