Kitzeberg is a shallow shore wreck on the Kiel Fjord.
Kitzeberg is a shallow shore-access wreck site on the Kiel Fjord, built around a concrete barge and nearby debris fields close to the beach. The bottom is flat and sheltered, with the wreck and surrounding structure giving an easy, low-depth route that works well as a relaxed shore dive or short training outing. Expect Baltic-style visibility and a slow look for crayfish, nudibranchs, pipefish, shrimp, and other small life on the wreck and its growth.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Sheltered conditions and a flat profile suit relaxed scuba dives; a concrete barge provides structure to explore.
Freediving
The site is shallow enough for calm freedive practice, but the tight wreck and silt inside make it better as a controlled shore dive.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work in very calm conditions because the barge is shallow and close to shore, but the real attraction is the wreck and its growth at dive depth.
