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.
