About Forellensee
Forellensee is a shore-access freshwater training lake in Nordhausen with linked platforms, clear water, and a compact route network that keeps divers inside a shallow-to-mid-depth plan. It is best for buoyancy control, navigation practice, and easy freshwater sightseeing rather than current or swell. Fish are common in the green belt, and experienced divers can extend farther out if they stay within the site rules.
