About Listertalsperre - Kalberschnacke
Listertalsperre - Kalberschnacke is a shore-access freshwater reservoir dive beside the Kalberschnacke camping area in the Sauerland. A short walk reaches the gravel entry, and the lake floor drops away gradually through a calm open-water profile with freshwater fish, aquatic plants, and a few older submerged remains. It works well for relaxed training dives or easy fun dives when the lake is calm.
