Baggersee Giesen is a recreational freshwater quarry lake west of Hochstetten with a signed dive zone in the southern bathing area. It suits relaxed shore dives and local training more than dramatic scenery, with a broad, weeded basin, modest relief, and freshwater life such as pike, carp, crayfish, and occasional eels. Divers should stay inside the marked area and follow the local rules.
