About Vorderer Langbathsee
Vorderer Langbathsee is a clear alpine lake dive west of Ebensee, set in a protected nature reserve below the Hoellengebirge. The seasonal shore-entry site uses a marked east-shore dive zone, and the underwater interest comes from a gently sloping lakebed, submerged wood, and freshwater fish rather than coral or drift.
