While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, freshwater lakes in Germany are generally most pleasant for diving during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are higher. This site is highly suitable for both snorkeling and freediving due to its shallow depths. Divers should be prepared for potentially cooler water temperatures typical of inland lakes, even in summer.
