About Groß Glienicker See
Groß Glienicker See is a freshwater shore-dive lake on Berlin's western edge, where clear water, a vegetated bottom, and the historic border line give the site more character than a simple training pond. It suits divers who want calm lake conditions, fish-rich structure, and an easy entry from the Kladow side with enough underwater interest for relaxed exploration and photography.
