Hinkelsteine
About Hinkelsteine
This freshwater dive features three submerged menhirs, including a larger stone formation that begins around 18 m and continues down to about 32 m. Since 2018, three life-size wooden figures have been installed around the menhirs as part of a UNESCO World Heritage setting. Marine life is most commonly encountered in the shallower area, where pike and schooling fish can be seen, and eel-like fish are reported resting on the sand near the stones.
