About Walchensee, Galerie
Walchensee, Galerie is a discreet roadside lake dive near Urfeld, with a small parking area leading down to the water. One side follows a steep wall packed with craters and crevices, while the other uses a metal guide strip to reach an old car wreck. The site is valued for freshwater fish life along the wall and in the cracks, and it is best treated as a plan-ahead lake dive rather than a casual shore swim.
