About this dive site

This dive site, Waldsee, offers a straightforward entry from a small sandy beach located on the camping site "Am Waldsee". Divers can expect an easy descent into a freshwater environment. The underwater navigation is simple, with gravel walls starting from 7 meters depth. There is no complex history or story explicitly linked to the dive site provided, suggesting it's primarily known as a local recreational spot.

The lake is home to a variety of freshwater marine life. Divers can encounter perch, crabs, mussels, pike, carp, and catfish. During the summer months, a notable abundance of small perch and pike can be observed on the 'meadow' located to the left of the entrance, providing good opportunities for observation.

The best time to visit this dive site for observing the small perch and pike is during the summer. It is particularly suitable for beginner divers and freedivers due to its shallow depth and calm conditions. Tips include checking access rules with the camping site and being prepared for potentially cooler water temperatures typical of German lakes outside of peak summer.
