About This Dive Spot
Hinkelsteine features three menhirs, with the largest starting at a depth of 18 meters and extending down to 32 meters. This site is designated for advanced divers due to its depth and conditions. Surrounding the menhirs are life-size wooden figures, added in 2018, which contribute to the site's recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the shallower areas, divers may encounter pike and schools of fish, as well as eel rods resting in the sand near the menhirs. The autumn season is particularly favorable for fish sightings.
