About this dive site

This dive site is one of Europe's most famous freshwater dives, featuring a sheer vertical wall that drops dramatically well beyond recreational limits. The main attraction is the breathtaking underwater topography of the wall itself, which is often covered in zebra mussels. Divers can also observe typical lake fish like perch and burbot, especially in crevices along the wall.
