About Karlstrup Kalkgrav

Karlstrup Kalkgrav is a freshwater quarry dive in Solrod with a shallow shore entry, clear groundwater, and a bottom that still shows the old extraction roads. The dive is about quiet quarry scenery rather than speed, with silt-sensitive sections, limestone walls, and pockets where perch, trout, and crayfish gather. It is best treated as a permit-controlled shore dive with careful buoyancy and a calm pace.
