About Harrys Steg
Harrys Steg is a shore-access freshwater site at Erlaufsee with stairs down to a jetty, a short route to platforms and a rock wall on one side, and a shallow weedy pike meadow on the other. It is a mountain-lake dive with a simple shoreline approach, so plan for cold water, altitude corrections, and visibility that can change with spring melt and weather while still giving divers a clear, structured route and steady freshwater fish interest.

7m - 25m
Depth Note

Safety & Access At Harrys Steg
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Treat this as a mountain-lake dive: plan altitude corrections, bring cold-water protection, and stay conservative if spring runoff has reduced clarity.
Access Restrictions
Dive-card proof is required; night and ice diving need separate permission from the owner, and underwater propulsion devices are not allowed.
Legal Notes
Erlaufsee straddles the Lower Austria and Styria border. Special-use dives such as night or ice dives need permission from Osterreichische Bundesforste AG.
Local Intel For Harrys Steg
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The right side offers platforms that lead toward a rock wall, while the left side stays shallow and weedy around the pike meadow.
Freediving
Use the shallow meadow side only and keep freedives conservative because the site is cold-water and the structure drops away on one side.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the sheltered shallows and is best on calm, clear days. The wall section is for scuba planning.
