Cold-water walls, freshwater life, and Alpine horizons on one border-crossing lake
Key fee: Lake-wide diving permit or marine park tag
No central fee
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single Lake Constance marine park tag or lake-wide recreational-diving levy. Most costs come from local operator services, parking, municipal visitor tax, lido admission, and optional attraction cards. Special access such as Teufelstisch has its own permit process. Never assume a paid tour or parking ticket overrides a seasonal closure, protected zone, shipping exclusion, or posted site rule.
