Erlichsee is a relaxed freshwater shore dive in a leisure-center setting, with direct water access, a sandy bottom, trees, and high walls that make it useful as a training lake as much as a recreational site. The appeal is easy logistics, calm water, and enough freshwater life to keep the dive interesting without needing a complicated plan.
