About Hunsfels
Hunsfels is a former lime mining site that has transformed into a lake covering approximately five hectares, with depths reaching up to 54 meters. The site features five distinct dive areas, each providing excellent visibility, typically exceeding 10 meters. The shallow regions are characterized by an abundance of aquatic vegetation and serve as a habitat for various juvenile fish species, including perch, pike-perch, and trout. 5mm suit necessary. Fed by underwater spring keeps it very cold at depth all year, but reasonably warm at the surface late summer.
