Kohlbauernaufsatz is a classic Attersee shore dive at the public bathing place near Unterach, with an easy lake entry that drops from a shallow slope into a steeper wall. A small wooden feature near the deeper section adds a local landmark, and the site suits divers who want clear water, easy access, and a straightforward lake profile rather than open-water exposure.
