This dive site is Lake Murner Badeplatz, a freshwater recreational body of water in the Upper Palatinate Lake District, Germany. Covering an area of about 90 hectares, it is a popular spot during summer for bathers, divers, water sports enthusiasts, and campers. The banks have been recultivated, offering easy shore access. While not as large as the nearby Steinberger See, it offers a pleasant and accessible diving experience, particularly noted for its generally good visibility compared to other regional lakes.
Underwater, the primary marine life mentioned are perch. Given it's a freshwater lake in Germany, one might also expect to encounter other freshwater fish like pike or carp, as well as various aquatic plants, though the description specifically highlights perch. The lack of extensive coral reefs or large pelagic animals means the focus is on smaller freshwater ecosystems.
The best time to visit Murner See Badeplatz for diving and other water activities is during the summer months when the lake is most active and accessible. Divers should be prepared for colder water temperatures typical of German lakes, even in summer. The site is highly suitable for beginners and those looking for a relaxed dive, and its shallow average depth also makes it ideal for freedivers and snorkelers.
