Obersee in Lanke is a shallow freshwater shore dive with three entry areas.
Obersee in Lanke is a shallow freshwater lake dive with multiple shore entry areas and a compact near-shore route. The best viewing is along the edges, where reeds, tree cover, and freshwater fish are easier to find than in the silty middle. It suits relaxed scuba and short snorkel outings, but summer swimmers and stirred-up sediment can make the lake less forgiving.

Scuba Diving
Shallow shore dives are highlighted, with depths up to roughly 4–6 m.
Freediving
Only the shallow shore band is worth a look on calm days; the lake is better for relaxed scuba than for longer breath-hold routes.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallow edge and is most useful when the water is calm and the shore zone is quiet.
