This dive site, known as Walchensee, Steinbruch, is located on the southern shore of Lake Walchensee in Germany, accessible via a small staircase from a parking lot off the toll road to Jachenau. Underwater, divers will navigate rugged rock faces and large formations, with certain areas reaching depths between 20 to 40 meters. The site offers a unique freshwater wall diving experience, exploring the natural topography of this deep alpine lake.
The Walchensee is remarkably rich in species, making it an excellent location for observing freshwater marine life. Divers can look for large eel rods hidden within the crevices of the steep rock faces. Other prevalent species include zander, trout, perch, burbot, and bream, often seen foraging along the rocky slopes.
While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, Walchensee generally offers good diving conditions, though cold water gear is recommended due to its alpine nature. Divers should be prepared for varying visibility typical of a lake environment. This site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore unique freshwater rock formations and observe diverse fish populations.
