Clear alpine freshwater lake in the Fuschl am See region with public shoreline access, bathing beaches, and a gentle lake-entry profile that still rewards disciplined buoyancy and navigation. It suits divers who want calm water, cold-season awareness, and a scenic non-reef day out with classic freshwater fish.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
0m - 67.3m
Depth Note
Shore entries start very shallow and then drop into the wider basin; the lake itself reaches 67.3 m overall.
Best Season
Late spring through early autumn for the easiest lake conditions and warmer water.
Typical Conditions
Clear alpine freshwater with a calm-lake feel on settled days, but colder water and seasonal bathing traffic make timing and thermal protection important.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Use appropriate cold-water protection, carry a compass or clear return plan, and stay alert for swimmers around the public beaches.
Access Restrictions
Use public shoreline access points, respect swimmer zones, and account for parking fees at some lots. The lake is motorboat-free.
Legal Notes
Follow local beach, parking, and shoreline access rules; public lake access does not mean unrestricted use everywhere.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a shore-entry freshwater scuba dive. Expect a straightforward entry from public lake access, then a gentle lake slope with navigation more important than surge.
Freediving
Shallow freediving is possible near calm shoreline water, but this is not a freedive-specific setup. Treat it as a casual freshwater option rather than a dedicated line site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best in the sheltered bathing areas on calm days, with the clearest water typically found away from swimmer traffic.
