This dive site, known as Berg Wreck, is located in a German lake and offers a unique freshwater wreck diving experience. It features two main attractions: a sunken sailboat lying at approximately 8 meters, which is easily accessible, and the notable 'shingle wreck', found at about 38 meters. While the recreational maximum depth for this site is stated as 26 meters, the shingle wreck remains a prominent feature of the area, though potentially for advanced or technical divers. Divers navigate by exploring these distinct wreck structures.
At and around the wrecks, divers frequently encounter eel rods (likely referring to eels) and various perches. The shallow areas, in particular, are good for spotting these smaller fish species, offering interesting macro opportunities within the freshwater environment.
Visiting during the warmer months might offer more comfortable diving temperatures, though colder periods often bring clearer visibility typical for freshwater lakes. The shallower sailboat wreck is ideal for beginners and freedivers, while more experienced divers can explore the deeper parts of the site up to 26 meters. Due to the cold water characteristic of German lakes, appropriate thermal protection is recommended.
