Night-friendly Traunsee bank dive with eels and perch.
Surfcamp is a Traunsee lake dive with a sloping, overgrown bank that rewards slow navigation and low-light awareness more than speed. The profile stays compact, but the night dive is the real draw because sleeping fish and active eels gather along the bank. Treat it as a quiet shore-entry dive, keep clear of harbor and mooring zones, and plan it for a calm evening when the lake is settled.
