Meersburg - Wilder Mann: cold-water winter wall dive.
Meersburg - Wilder Mann is a winter-only Lake Constance wall dive beside the Meersburg ferry area, with a shore entry, cold water, and a steep profile that quickly suits experienced divers. The site is best planned around the winter access window and ferry schedule, and it rewards divers who are comfortable with a focused entry and a serious freshwater wall dive.
