About Walchensee
Walchensee is a large alpine freshwater lake south of Munich with clear water, steep underwater walls, and shoreline entries that range from easy bays to more committing drops. Divers come for varied lake terrain, including submerged trees, rock formations, and scattered wrecks. It is a flexible shore-diving destination, but cold water and the chosen entry point shape how demanding the dive feels.
