Wallnau: a shallow Baltic shore dive with boulders.
Campingplatz Wallnau, Fehmarn is a shallow shore dive with a sandy bottom, a few larger erratic boulders, and an easy, low-friction entry from the campsite side. It is an unhurried Baltic site that suits relaxed training, buoyancy practice, and slow exploration. Parking is close, but the west-coast setting is weather-sensitive and the reserve boundary needs care.
Safety Notes
Check the wind before entering and avoid the reserve edge near the entry.
Access Restrictions
Stay on the permitted side of the Wallnau reserve boundary and use the designated route; the left side by the reserve is off-limits for diving.
Legal Notes
The dive sits beside a protected reserve, so stay in the permitted area and respect the reserve boundary.
Community notes to help plan your visit.

Freediving

Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work in the shallows, but the boulder patches are better appreciated on scuba.
