This dive site, Walchensee Galerie, offers a unique freshwater diving experience accessible from a small parking lot south of Urfeld. Divers can explore a steel strip leading to an old car wreck at approximately 35 meters on the right, or venture into a dramatic steep face on the left. While no specific history is provided for the 'Galerie' name, the site is known for its distinct underwater topography.
The Walchensee is notably rich in freshwater fish. Divers are likely to encounter various species such as zander, trout, perch, burbot, and bream. The steep face is a good spot to search for eel rods hidden within crevices.
Walchensee Galerie is an excellent year-round destination for those equipped for cold freshwater diving. Highlights include the deep wreck and the impressive wall dive. For freedivers, the steep face offers significant depth training opportunities. Divers should be mindful of the depth and potential for cold water, especially at the wreck site.
